Comment
This token is struck by Pichard Balme in Saumur, a subsidiary of Arthus Bertrand since its takeover in 1999.
John Paul II made his first pilgrimage to Lourdes on August 15 and 16, 1983, for his 19th pastoral visit. He returned a second time on August 14 and 15, 2004, for his 104th and final pastoral visit, to mark the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, despite a very fragile state of health. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuaire_de_Notre-Dame_de_Lourdes
