Kind of mind bending if you ask me. Even regardless of the numismatic angle. Leo XIV is an American citizen. Who rules a nation. Which issues coins with an image of its sovereign.

jbuck Moderator United States 162467 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 10:18 am I am looking forward to it. I will have to acquire some examples. As I mentioned in the other topic, he is not just an American Pope, he is a a Chicago Pope! He was raised in Dolton, just a few miles from where I was born. I have to wonder if any of my extended family has ever rubbed elbows with him in the past.

Yeah, I read that from an interview with his brother. I guess no one is perfect, not even a Pope. But some of those previously mentioned family members will be pleased.
