After just one day of deliberations, the College of Cardinals elected the 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church on May 8, 2025. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the United States was chosen and accepted the papal name Pope Leo XIV. He is now the first American to serve as Pope, and this silver round with an antique finish marks this historic milestone. BullionMax is now offering the 2025 1 oz Antique Pope Leo XIV Commemorative Silver Round online.

The obverse of the 2025 1 oz Antique Pope Leo XIV Commemorative Silver Round shows a portrait of the newly elected Pontiff. The image includes his papal name, Pope Leo XIV, at the top, and the date of his election at the bottom, giving a clean and respectful tribute to this moment in Church history.

On the reverse side of the 2025 Antique Pope Leo XIV Commemorative Silver Round, the design focuses on the Vatican. This small yet influential city-state has roots going back nearly 2,000 years, beginning with Saint Peter’s martyrdom. Today’s Vatican City came into existence in 1929 through the Lateran Treaty, signed with the government of Italy under Mussolini, officially establishing it as an independent religious state.

Before becoming Pope, Cardinal Prevost spent many years serving in Peru and was part of the Augustinian religious order. These experiences shape his perspective, especially when addressing Church matters with a global view, particularly from a Latin American lens. His roles in several important congregations also give him a hand in shaping decisions on topics like liturgy and canonization.

The 2025 1 oz Antique Pope Leo XIV Commemorative Silver Round is housed in a plastic flip and showcases a detailed antique finish that enhances its historical design. It stands as a fitting tribute to Cardinal Prevost’s election as the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church.
