Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 19 Posted July 19 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 2
Megan Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Nice collection.... and a little-known area. Thank you for sharing. 1
Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 19 Author Posted July 19 Thanks Megan! It really is an unknown area for most, despite having the advantage of many medals available on the market, it is frustrating that there is little information in general about them.
Megan Posted July 20 Posted July 20 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!
Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 21 Author Posted July 21 I've already seen some pages of this book, overall it's very good, as for your website, it would be great to include the pontifical medals! I used it many times to identify medals I didn't know about.
Megan Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Thank you for the encouragement, Flávio. It's always nice to hear that people find my website useful. There's alsways more to add, though 🤓 1
