This is an early Art Deco dated 1925 Catholic religious medal of Pope Pius XI for the Ordinary Jubilee Year of 1925 which was famous for instituting the Feast of Christ the King by the end of the Jubilee year. It is made of silver color metal and has no wear to the silver. It has extremely fine detailing of the figural pope in official pontifical vestments on one side and St. Peter's Basilica on the back along with the words Souvenir Jubilee and the 1925 year date. It also has very fancy scroll work on the bottom along with wheat and floral adornments in the design. Highly detailed from the details in the Pope's face to the veins in the wheat and flora. Size is 1" across in diameter without the bail by 1 1/8" north to south with the bale. Overall condition is excellent. Still very crisp and detailed. No wear marks. No dents or dings. From an estate where is was very well kept over the years. An unusual find for your antique religious jewelry collection. Or use for key fob, watch fob, necklace pendant or keepsake.
