PAPAL MEDALS.

In the following list of medals struck by authority of the Roman pontiffs, reference to the obverse has been omitted except in the case of a single specimen for each pope, where the portrait bust is mentioned and the direction in which it is turned. In a majority of cases the medals of a pope present his portrait in the same aspect, and where a change is made the fact is mentioned.

The chief interest in the series lies in the reverse designs, the subjects of which are stated and the inscriptions given, but no attempt at description has been made.

[All medals of this series are of bronze.]
