Liberia 10 dollars Habemus Papam Church gilded crystal silver proof coin 2005

Liberia 10 Dollars 2005 Habemus Papam Gilded Crystal Proof Silver Coin commemorates the papal transition of 2005 and the proclamation announcing the election of a new pope. The oval reverse presents a richly symbolic view of Vatican architecture, dominated by the selectively gilded dome of St. Peter’s Basilica with its lantern and cross. In the foreground stands a detailed classical building façade, while a dove-shaped element filled with numerous sparkling crystal-like stones creates a striking centerpiece. The Habemus Papam theme and date 19.04.2005 complete the composition. The obverse displays Liberia’s national coat of arms with a sailing ship, palm tree, rising sun, plow and flying bird within an ornate shield, surrounded by flowing ribbons, with the 10 Dollars denomination and 2005 date below. “Habemus Papam” traditionally announces the election of a new pontiff; on 19 April 2005 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI. Combining Proof silver, selective gilding, crystal decoration and an unusual oval format, this religious commemorative offers strong appeal for collectors of Vatican, papal and Christian themes.
