Monnaie de Paris has issued a 5-oz GOLD coin through official distributor Panda America based on the centenary of the birth of Mother Teresa. An Albanian born Indian nun, winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Price and beatified by Pope John-Paul II in 2003, Mother Teresa has left an unquestionable legacy thanks to her selfless acts for those who are oppressed the most, and honoring her on a gold coin is certainly deserved. This 50 mm diameter coin has an obverse that shows a scene of Mother Teresa carrying a child, surrounded by the sentence "In our house there is always a bed ready for one more child". The characteristic hair band of Missionaries of Charity, the order of Mother Teresa, separates the coin between the picture and the RF legal inscription. On the reverse, in front of a background representing the crowd, is an image of Mother Teresa and Pope John-Paul II, surrounded by the text "Centenaire de la naissance de Mere Teresa". The fact that this coin shows BOTH Mother Teresa AND Pope John-Paul II will make this coin a TRUE COLLECTORS ITEM and ENSURES that it will sell-out!

This 200 Euro legal tender gold coin has an extremely LOW mintage - only 99 coins were made WORLDWIDE! Panda America has secured some of the LOWEST NUMBERED coins of the 99 made - all of our coins are have a certificate number IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.  This coin won't last long. Mother Teresa is one of the most popular and iconic figures of our time.
