Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/21/2018 6:29 pm 40.7 mm in diameter, weight 35.35 grams, composition would seem to be silver (fineness undetermined). My research suggests this was struck during the papacy of Pius VII (1800-1823) and may have something to do with the Pontificio Collegio Urbano de Propaganda Fide (a school for training missionaries) founded by Pope Urban VIII in 1627. There was a December 2016 auction in which €180 was realized for one of these. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 10/21/2018 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
