On May 8, 2025, the familiar words Habemus PapamWe have a Popewere spoken once again from the balcony of St. Peters Basilica. This time, the announcement marked a historic moment: the selection of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the next Pope. With this election, the Roman Catholic Church welcomed its first American pontiff. Provident Metals now offers the 1 oz Silver Americas First Pope Rounds to mark this important event.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Silver Americas First Pope Round available here is packaged in a protective plastic flip. These rounds display proof-like qualities, combining frosted elements with mirror-like surfaces. The obverse showcases Pope Leo XIV as he first appeared on the balcony at St. Peters Basilica following his election.
Obverse
The obverse side of the Silver Americas First Pope Round presents a detailed portrait of Pope Leo XIV. Born Robert Francis Prevost, he is the first Pope in history to hail from the United States. The image captures him moments after his introduction, dressed in papal robes with his hands gently clasped in front of him. The inscriptions include FIRST AMERICAN PONTIFF, CARDINAL ROBERT FRANCISE PREVOST, 5-8-2025, and LEO XIV.
Reverse
The reverse side of 1 oz Silver Americas First Pope Rounds features a representation of Vatican City. This sovereign state, established by the Lateran Treaty in 1929, is the center of the Roman Catholic Church. It holds many cultural and artistic treasures, including St. Peters Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Vatican City also maintains its own postal service, banking system, and ceremonial guardsthe Swiss Guard. The inscriptions read PRAY…AND JUSTICE AND PEACE WILL PREVAIL.
History
The Latin phrase Habemus Papam is used to declare that a new Pope has been chosen. It is traditionally delivered by the Cardinal Protodeacon from the main balcony of St. Peters Basilica. This ceremonial statement comes at the conclusion of the Conclavea secretive voting process requiring a two-thirds majority by the cardinals to elect a new pontiff.
