Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 hello everyone, I recently started a small collection of papal decorations, pieces of little interest to most collectors, unfortunately they are very rare to appear in the Brazilian market, so I always try to take advantage of rare opportunities, for now I am happy with my Pro Ecclesia et Pontifex (which I assume was granted during the papacy of Pius XII), Lateran Cross in case (Type I) with a miniature (Type II of Saint Paul VI), Bene Menreti Medal of Leo XIII and two miniatures of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher. The Lateran Cross and miniature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 A new medal arrived today, silver Benemerenti medal from Pope Benedictvs XV, marked by S.J. Although a little worn, you can still see the beautiful details of his Papal Stole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Thanks Graf, this Order of Saint Gregory is wonderful, do you know under which Pope it was awarded? Vatican decorations are an area that few collectors end up focusing on and information is scarce, many of these medals, especially the Benemerenti, are often sold as “devotional medals”.
