What are these?

While I was visiting my uncle this summer he showed me some medals that he bought during a business trip in Italy. He would really like to know what they are and how much they are worth. They are in a presentation case which is how they toned up like they did. They all have this standard obverse.

And then there are three different reverses.

Any information you can give would be truly appreciated.

My first quess is Vatican Medals, no idea of value or where a listing can be found, I have a simular piece with two popes on the obverse.

Does anyone else have any idea what they are?

They are silver Vatican medals, from a set issued in 1985. I'm afraid I don't collect them or have a reference on them. The first reverse says something like "Peace among men." The second shows a view of the Vatican from the opposite end of its courtyard and something about an "Extraordinary Jubilee." The third refers to "Our Lady of Czestochowa" or, as it is more popularly known, Poland's "Black Madonna."
