    Benemerenti medals


    Recommended Posts

    Hello everyone
    I have recently dedicated the collection exclusively to pontifical medals and have built up a little collection, here I have some benemerenti medals, with a sequence of Popes:
    Pius IX (1846-1878), Silver
    Leo XIII (1878-1903), Bronze and Silver
    Pius X (1903-1914), Silver
    Benedict XV (1914-1922), Silver and Gold
    Pius XI (1922-1939), Silver

    About the only documentation is Hyginus Eugene Cardinale's book Orders of Knighthood, Awards, and the Holy See - and that is not particularly detailed (I have a copy tucked away). Yet another area I really ought to get up on my website!
