The Vatican medals displayed here are from the pontificates of St. Pius X, Pius XI, Venerable Pius XII, Saint John XXIII and Paul VI, and Cardinal Merry del Val. They are in small cases with their coats of arms.
These medals are more desirable because they are in their cases.
The Vatican medals presented here are from the pontificates of Blessed Paul VI and St. John Paul II. The fact that these two popes are now canonized or beatified make them of added interest to this Collection.
Each medal is in its own case with the Pope’s coat of arms on the cover.
Vatican medals are produced on a yearly basis and depict various poses of the popes on the front of the medals and quite intricate scenes on the reverse side as can be seen in these various images.
Vatican medals are of great interest to collectors, and these are of obvious interest given their connection to these two particular saints.
The Papal Artifacts’ Collection has an array of medals connected to pontificates from all ages. Go to Papal Artifacts and search Medals to view more of them.
