Has anyone else got this coin, mine shows 1969 on one side and, 1970 on the other side, is this normal?

It's normal:

Yes. The Popes visit was in 1969 but the coins in these commemorative issued series were produced both in 1969 and 1970. Therefore you will find examples with 1969/1969 and 1969/1970 not only on the 5 Shillings but in other denominations as well.

 Thanks - I changed the Series pages to add date information.

Thank you so much for the information provided; it is much appreciated.

Yes, I have the same issue with the other five coins, and only the 2/- coin has 1969 on both sides. I wonder if anyone can provide further information on mintage numbers where there is only a single date and where there is a mix of the two?

The complete series consists of 10 coins, all of them struck both in 1969 and 1970. Unfortunately no separate mintages for 1969 and 1970:
