I believe this medal is from 1962-1965 and is 80% silver.

I have found similar medals with the same obverse but none with this reverse.

Thank you in advance for your help.

    It's a medal, not a coin. This one commemorates the Ecumenical council under John XXIII known as Vatican II.

    The medal was probably issued between October 1962 when the Second Vatican Council began, and June 1963 when Pope John XXIII died.

    All glory is fleeting.
