Vatican City "Peace Medals"

[AtlantaCouple]

Hello,

When we were at the Vatican in August, we bought a Silver "Peace Medal"

in a nice store just outside St. Marks square. It's circular, about the size

of a nickel, with small colorful designs around it. We paid around $35 US.

 

Does anybody know where we can find out more information about them?

 

We're giving one to our niece and nephew for Christmas and would like to

able to tell them more about it. Thank you. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

I didn't see the medals but do you really mean St. Mark's Square or do you mean St. Peters?

You're correct, it was St. Peter's square.. where was my mind at ! lol.

I'm guessing Venice! :)

 

I just didn't want to confuse people in case there was actually a St. Mark's in Rome.
