I used the opportunity to photograph some of my papal medals. However, here is a coin from amongst my papalia, a AR Bianco of
Paul III Farnese (1534 - 49). From Bologna.

That is a very nice looking coin
I have around 25 Papal State coins and my oldest is a 1847. Thanks for photo,MoJo

Not technically a Vatican piece (since its pre 1929), but howz about a papal medal:



Its a 42 mm silver annual medal of Pius VIII. Year 18 featuring the restoration of the Laocoon group on the reverse.

Die cracks are pretty common on medals and many of the earlier papal/italian states pieces but very fun nonetheless. In my experience, doubling is especially common on Naples/Two Sicilies coinage of the 19th century. In the case of my medal, the two marks on the obverse in the left field of my medal were, in fact, made by fairly large die cracks indicating a late striking of this medal. Gotta love the coinage and medals of this period!

By the way, does anyone know what the large bimetalic coin/medal is in the middle of my previous post? I found everything else in Krause, but no luck on that one.
