Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Liberia Gold Pope Leo XIV Coin displays Pope Leo XIV standing on the balcony of St. Peters Basilica. This moment honors the long-standing Catholic tradition in which a newly elected pope appears before the crowd with the announcement Habemus Papam. The artwork captures Pope Leo XIVs first greeting to the public.

Reverse

On the reverse, the coin features Liberias national coat of arms. The image includes a ship approaching the coast, symbolizing the arrival of freed slaves who settled the country in the 1800s. A dove with a scroll in its beak symbolizes peace, and a ribbon below shows Liberias national motto.

History

Cardinal Prevost was born in Chicago in 1955 and has long been committed to missionary service. After becoming a member of the Order of Saint Augustine, he went on to work for over a decade in Peru, especially in underserved communities in the Amazon, where he helped build schools and healthcare facilities.
