Looking for a specific church coin

Bluesmobile72

Hi all , my name is Andy and about 10 years ago by my grandfather, I was given a magnificent silver coin that was a little bigger than an Australian 50 cent coin with a 3 dimensional church on one side , and Latin writing like a prayer or poem on the other side . I lost it in a robbery unfortunately shortly after and I’ve been trying to track one down the same to purchase ever since . Can someone tell me if there is a catalog or a reference book where I could possibly track it down ?? It was given to me by my grandfather before he passed away and it was my all time favourite coin in my whole collection, would love the opportunity to buy one the same , thank you in advance , regards Andy thompson

Did it look like one of these?
These are the Wiener Cathedral medals.
(Maybe bigger than an Australian half dollar, though).

@Bluesmobile72 me thinks you can settle in to your comfy chair and use the Google and keyword search for images. Coin, token, medal to cover the spread. Good luck. Peace Roy

@Bluesmobile72....Welcome aboard....Also add 'cathedral coin' to your search criteria....Do you recall who the designer was? That would help as well... Good luck, and when you find it, come back and show us...Cheers, RickO

Welcome to the forum. It’s going to be a challenge to find. If it is an actual coin, you might find success poring through the pages of the Standard Catalog of World Coins. there would be a LOT to look through, though. That might be a place to start. You might also look through the items issues by the Vatican. That would be my first guess.

First thing I thought of from the description was a Wiener cathedral medal, there are several variations, you can use your search engine of choice to see if any match your particular memory.
