    Many people do. I have more silver Papal medals than I do bronze. I have yet to photograph most of them.

    I started out going for the architectural medals. Then branched out after that.

    My first architectural. Take a look at the detail in the windows, the ceiling, and the floor. At 40mm, this medal is slightly larger than a silver dollar.

    This Pope Pius IX medal is the "Moose" when it comes to architectural Papal medals.

    At 80mm, it is twice the diameter of the one above.

    It’s not a coin- and not mine. ;)

    But yes, impressive. I’ve always thought those cathedral medals are.
