ANTARCTIC TREEITORIES

TRI-METAL COIN
The beatification of Pope John Paul II on May 1, 2011 is commemorated on this 2011 tri-metallic 10 Dollar coin issued for the Antarctic Territories.  One side of the 27mm coin pictures the Pope.  The other side shows a map of Antarctica.   There is a certain irony in a coin being issued honoring the Pope by the only continent that the Pope never visited.
