Just got this newp from the HA in hand (thanks @Stella for checking on it for me!). It’s a new direction for me, but I’ve been amazed at some of the artistry on the Italian/Papal coins of this era.
Coin in hand is big, beautiful and beautifully made. 
It also came with a couple old auction tags. Does this mean that it sold in 1957?

Congratulations, @Bob13 ! I am glad that you are happy with the coin.
Outstanding! Great eye appeal.
1675 piastra - same year, but other Holy Door design.
Thanks @worldcoinguy !
Before the auction I enjoyed reading your prior post about these coins. Very informative!

Nice coins @Bob13 and @worldcoinguy!
Here's mine, a minor denomination. 1675 was a Jubilee Year, so the Holy Door was a common theme for issues of this year from the Papal States.
