I already have the official information, received from the Ufficio Filatelico e Numismatico Vaticano, about the commemorative 2-euro coin that the Vatican issues in 2020 to celebrate the "Centenary of the Birth of John Paul II", of which we will know the date in the one that is emitted and the different presentations along with their emission volumes.

Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. Elected Pope on October 16, 1978, he ruled the Catholic Church until his death on April 2, 2005. John Paul II was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on May 1, 2011 and canonized by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014.
The coin, designed by Gabriella Titotto, reproduces a portrait of Saint John Paul II, with the Wadowice Cathedral (Minor Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary) where he was baptized, with his birth house on the right; the architectural complex is presided over by an eight-pointed star, symbol of the Virgin Mary, to whom John Paul II was very devoted and to whom he dedicated his pontificate. The same star is also the sun, partially obscured by an eclipse: both on the day of birth and on that of the funeral, a solar eclipse was verified, a truly extraordinary astronomical coincidence; in Christian symbolism the sun is the supreme allegory of Christ, a physical representation of the concept of divinity and truth. The laurel bouquet, finally, refers to the glory of the saints and victory:
