Two Great and Important Men in A Vintage Silver Art Round

A Rare One Troy Ounce .999 Silver Round commemorating our Great President Ronald Reagan's visit with Pope John Paul II (cannonized Saint in 2014) in May 2, 1984.

A Pope and A President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the Twentieth Century By Paul Kengor

These two great individuals were commemorated not only in coins and medallions but also in books and in statues.

Gdansk, Poland-25 April 2019: Statues of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II in Gdansk. It honors them for their great support in the fall of Communism in Poland.

For Americans, for Europeans, for Protestants and Catholics, for Jews, for believers of all stripes, and for so many others worldwide, the momentous and tranquil termination of the Cold War was the signature event of the close of the 20th century. It was one of the most remarkable events of the entire turbulent century, a century where over 100 million people were killed by communist governments, far exceeding the combined death tolls of World War I and World War II, history’s deadliest wars. And Ronald Reagan and John Paul II teamed up to seek precisely that historic victory, an outcome they perceived as not only historical but spiritual. For both men, the Soviet empire was not a mere empire, but an atheistic empire that pursued what Mikhail Gorbachev described as a “war on religion.” It was, as Reagan put it, an “Evil Empire.”

The front of the coin shows the two great men Ronald Reagan and John Paul II

The back of the coin depicts Denali, the tallest mountain in North America located in south-central Alaska. The native Koyukon Athabascan people call the mountain Denali, which is usually translated as "The Great One."
