The Polish mint has struck a one-troy-pound gold coin to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s election as pontiff. Even though there are only 300 of the 0.999% pure gold coins minted, they are legal tender in Poland
Somehow, the idea of a communist government striking a gold coin — a one-pound gold coin — to honor a Pope’s election just doesn’t sound right. And, as if combining communism, religion and money-changing isn’t unlikely enough, consider where the coins were unveiled; at the Blanchard Investment Conference in New Orleans, La., an annual get together that is the epitome of capitalism, a veritable bazaar of investment opportunities offering those who attend a wealth of novel ideas on where to put their money.
Some of the promotional literature about the coin says this: “Perhaps the most interesting aspect (of the coin) is how one charismatic leader can bring together many differing nations and political and economic systems into cooperative activity.”
Better place your orders now. At $8,950(US) per coin (a troy pound is 12 troy ounces), these coins are sure to go in a hurry. Render unto Caesar
