2025 - 1oz. - Election of Pope Leo XIV

Honoring the First American Pope
On May 8, 2025, history was made when Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV — the first American-born leader of the Catholic Church. This unprecedented moment is now beautifully commemorated in a finely crafted one-ounce silver round, honoring the Church’s 267th Pope with a dignified and detailed portrait.
Exceptional Craftsmanship in Pure Silver
Each round is struck from one full troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver, featuring the newly elected Pope Leo XIV on the obverse, along with the date of his election. The reverse showcases an elegant depiction of the exterior of the Vatican, accompanied by the weight and purity markings. Struck in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, these pieces display razor-sharp details and a radiant finish worthy of the occasion.
A Pope of Global Experience
Though not initially considered a frontrunner, Cardinal Prevost’s extensive service in Latin America, leadership in Peru, and strong support for Church reforms positioned him as a unifying choice. Elevated to the rank of Cardinal-Bishop in February 2025, his election by the conclave of 133 cardinals signaled a new chapter in papal history.
A Treasured Collectible and Gift
For Catholics, historians, and silver enthusiasts, this round is a tangible keepsake of a once-in-a-lifetime event. The election of an American Pope may not be repeated for generations, making this silver round a meaningful addition to any collection.
