HABEMUS PAPAM - We Have a Pope!

On May 9, 2025, The Bradford Exchange Mint unveiled a 24K gold-plated collectible coin celebrating Cardinal Robert Provest’s historic election as Pope Leo XIV, the 267th pontiff and the first American pope, originally from Chicago.
The coin celebrates this unprecedented election that marks a historic and spiritual milestone for the Catholic Church and the global faith community.
The coin displays a vivid portrait of Pope Leo XIV dressed in traditional papal attire, accompanied by symbols representing the Holy See and the phrase "HABEMUS PAPAM MMXXV." Additionally, part of the sales proceeds will be contributed to Catholic Charities in tribute to the pope.

The coin serves as a lasting homage to the new Pope, anticipated to be highly valued and treasured across generations due to his dedication to worldwide harmony, togetherness, and moral leadership.
