The Jubilee medals were struck in 1880 but, the originals seem to have been in use since they were approved by Pope Benedict XIV in 1741. I dont know anything about any of this. Hopefully, someone will come along to help. Edit: the original design is different and yours looks like a take on the Jubilee medal. There should be a date in Roman numerals below Benedict's figure. I'm not seeing it on yours. Again...
