I collect coins partly for their artistry. Sometimes I come across tokens that I particularly like. I am curious if anyone else has run across these or knows anything about them. Possibly when they were made or minted and/or who is the person? I think these two medallions were made in Italy. Obviously I am not a great pic taker. Anyone? The top one should be Centarinario G. Garbaldi, has an eyelet to hang from a chain. Anyone know anything about it? Bottom should be Santus Clemens and the back of this medal says Filius Faustini Roma 90-100. Anyone know anything about it?
Yes, fascinating stuff! I guess he was the 4th Pope. I wonder when it was made. Maybe someone who knows Catholic type things will know something. I'm Catholic but I never heard of this Saint. It's been alot of years since I've even attended a mass. Maybe Xmas, especially since gold is so high, just kidding, I mean I may go but not b/c of gold prices.
FILIVS FASVTINI - Son of Faustinus. The medal probably refers to Pope Clement I, the third pontif from AD 92-99.
There is a medal site on web just do a search for it. There is a medal site on web just do a search for it.
