Alex Shagin was a prolific numismatic artist born in Leningrad and eventually emigrated to the US. Has anyone come across this particular token and has any information on it? The only clue I have is it was with a number of Vatican City coins. Thanks.

No one ever responded to this post, so I'm giving it a well overdue bump. I can confirm that this piece isn't in tokencatalog. Anyone have any ideas to help out @div?

Nothing really concrete to add, except his Wikimedia page.

I would assume it to be some kind of self-promotional medal? Perhaps dating from the height of his fame in the 1980s or 1990s. The "three angels" side looks like a generic religious medal.
