Description: If you scroll through all the Vatican medal listings on eBay and you don't see this one anywhere else, the reason is that it's a VERY RARE type by the engraver Berutti. Measuring 50mm, it features the highly detailed lifelike 3-D bust of Pope Pious IX on the occasion of the First Vatican Council in 1869*. The reverse displays a beautiful high relief image of Mary kneeling on top of the earth while "bringing light to the world", a phrase inscribed in Latin. *First Vatican Council - Wikipedia Superb uncirculated condition save for a barely visible micro hairline or die line noticeable only at an angle. This line is so light that it can probably be buffed out professionally, in which case you'll have a 150-year-old museum piece. Exquisitely crafted gem with profound religious history! CV $400.
