His Holiness Benedict XVI.
This precision gold coin, issued by the State of the Cook Islands in 2013 and minted in the purest 99.99% gold, celebrates the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on 28 February 2013.
The reverse of the coin depicts a waving Pope Benedict XVI in traditional robes, surrounded by the inscriptions "RESIGNATION OF POPE BENEDICT XVI" and the year of issue "2013". Benedict XVI's original civil name, the sonorous Joseph Ratzinger, is the Pope Emeritus who was the 265th Pope, sovereign of the Vatican State from 2005-2013. He is a native of Bavaria, Germany. He has also served as a professor at various German universities. He was elected Pope on 19 April 2005 after the death of John Paul II, and celebrated his inaugural Mass on 24 April 2005. On 28 February 2013, he resigned from the papacy for health reasons. He holds both German and Vatican citizenship. From his days as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he has the nickname of God's Rottweiler, and the tabloid press sometimes pejoratively titles him Papa Ratzi.
The obverse shows a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian-Rank Broadley with the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'COOK ISLANDS', '1 DOLLAR' and the initials of the designer 'IRB'.
The coin comes in a plastic capsule in a limited edition of only 15,000 pieces worldwide!
