Matteo95 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Is this a Papal coin? If so, is there much interest (Got quite a few of these)this is not a coin , it's a medal of pope PIVS XII .... I think it an unofficial medal maybe a private issue Quote

Paulus Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I have to profess ignorance, sorry!What Jubilee is that Matteo?What is Neto Scott? Quote
Crown Jules Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks Matteo. I've no idea of their weight (I will need to invest in some scales). All I know is that one of my relatives got them from the Bank of Naples where he worked. I have others similar. Unfortunately they have been stored in PVC pouches in the attic... Quote
Crown Jules Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 As for the Vatican medals, there's hopefully people out there who will want them, so I'll try Ebay Quote
Crown Jules Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 That's a good site for Italian coins thanks Quote
