Paul VI (1963-78) Anno I Election, Lg Version

Special, larger--50mm--version of the Anno I silver medal commemorating Pope Paul VI's election on June 21, 1963. Proof finish. By Pietro Giampaoli. Includes extra-large (approx. 4" x 4") original plush case. The most magnificent of the Paul VI medals!

This medal was made in three sizes: 33mm, 44mm and this 50mm version. Mintages are unreported but the typical mintage of a Vatican silver medal of this era was 3500--it's very likely the mintage of this medal was 1,000 or less.
