Replica/souvenir John Paul II Medal? [solved]

4 posts • viewed 79 times

Hi everyone! 

I'm quite new to the hobby and the site so be patient with me 🙂

I've got this Medal whose design more or less matches N#133431
Weight ~16g, ~35mm diameter, ~2mm thickness

HOWEVER - it is lacking the “Italy” on the bottom right of the Obverse, which every type with this design listed on this site seems to have, as well as any visible mint mark.
.

Is this an unofficial souvenir medal not on the site? any information would be appreciated :D

Hello,

Welcome aboard 😃

There isn't a specific "official" version for these medals, simply different types. Yours is a different example from those already registered.

To register your medal, go to the page for a similar medal and at the bottom of the page select "Duplicate this page." You can then edit your entry with the appropriate information.

Blank background is prefered, so you can upload this following images

Removing the background can be done in several ways, see this topic:

Thanks a lot - will make the new entry as you have said. 

Incidentally, I seem to have found the same mark-less specimen on eBay here.
Have a great day!

Similar but not the same die. Look to beeds on rim.
