One side shows famous buildings in Rome, with St Peters prominent in the centre. The Latin text reads "Year of Jubilee, Rome 1975". This Wikipedia page explains the Catholic tradition of the Year of Jubilee.

The Latin text on the other side is from the Bible: "May they be one" (John 17:21); I assume the imagery is two Christians, united by Christ.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
