TAYA POBJOY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF POBJOY MINT, PRESENTS COIN TO POPE FRANCIS On Wednesday 26th March Taya Pobjoy, Managing Director of Pobjoy Mint, visited the Vatican City and was honoured to present a coin to His Holiness Pope Francis celebrating his accession as the latest Pontiff. The coin, which was presented just after the First Anniversary of his Election, was issued by the Central Bank of the Seychelles and produced by Pobjoy Mint. Pope Francis appeared both pleased and interested to view this special new coin which features a Cameo of himself surrounded by a rosary and images of the 14 Stations of the Cross which appear in every Catholic Church in the World and which tell the story of Christ’s Condemnation by Pontius Pilate, his Crucifixion and death. Taya feels very lucky to have been allowed to meet His Holiness on such a special occasion. The Seychelles, a predominantly Catholic Country, had been visited by Pope John Paul II in 1986 and will shorting be issuing a new coin to celebrate the Canonization of Pope John Paul II on 27th April 2014 when he will become Patron Saint of World Youth Day.
