The papal conclave is a historic event that brings together cardinals from around the world to choose a new Pope. First formalized in the 1200s, the term “conclave” means “with a key” in Latin, a nod to the cardinals being locked inside the Sistine Chapel until the new Pope is elected. The decision is announced with white smoke rising from the chapel’s chimney.

Each 2025 1 oz New Pope Commemorative Silver Round is packaged in a protective plastic flip. These rounds mark the occasion of the new Pope’s selection and display his image along with the date he was elected.

The obverse of the 2025 New Pope Commemorative Silver Round shows a detailed portrait of the new Pope. His name and the date of his election are included in a decorative border that frames the central image.

On the reverse, the design highlights the Vatican. Known officially as Vatican City State, this independent city-state sits within Rome and spans just 49 hectares. Established by the Lateran Treaty in 1929, it is the spiritual home of the Catholic Church and the Pope’s official residence. Landmarks like St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel are housed within its walls.
