I’m not much into coin stuff but I doubt that it is “rare” but it is unusual only because it is from the Vatican. That is Pope John Paul I who was only in office for 33 days before he died. Try the Vatican [URL removed]

In the center of their homepage is a link to Philatelic and Numismatic Office of Vatican City. Click that and it will take to another page, scroll down the center to coin catalogue and click that. It will take you to a fairly long list of coins.

Here’s another link with Vatican [URL removed]

I think you might be right Johanna, I think this coin is very rare and possibly quite valuable. I don’t think the Pope coins are solid gold, the ones I have seen are plated. The worth would be in the rarity of the coin. This Pope didn’t die a violent death, he died asleep sitting up in his bed and was discovered by a Nun. What you are representing as fact, the ’murderous"circumstances of his death is actually a conspiracy theory which has never been proven.

Yeah, it’s the ‘smiling Pope’ – but it’s nowhere to be found.
That’s why I think it’s so rare.
After his violent death the Vatican was cleaned out of every sign
that he even was there once.

There is a coin sold on eBay that says PP I, but it IS actually PP II.
They must have misspelled it.

High and low, Vatican and not – there is no such coin to be found.

PP I was elected in 1978 – but the coin was minted in 1979, long after his death. I found THAT out now.
But no coin in circulation anywhere. None mentioned anywhere

Thank you Carolyn, I had it evaluated and it is solid Gold.

Hm, yes, Pope John Paul I (Albino Luciani) was either smothered to death or poisoned.
He was considered (by his fellow clerics) to be too ‘good’, weak – but started immediately to clean up and out the Vatican Bank, tried to push out Masons that were even Cardinals etc. Many high ranking clerics got very scared.

The nun who found him was sworn into lifelong silence about it – and nobody knows where he really was found, in his bedroom (not in bed) or in his bathroom – vomit all over him. They made all his clothes, shoes, even his glasses disappear.
Well, there is abook about him (read it long time ago) and also a lot to read on the internet.

i saw one at auction. it was in a leaflet and a collectors edition. Not rare and not solid gold

it is solid Gold…and very nice (best of luck)

Good question. Unlike a decade ago, most people these days have realised that gold is without a shred of doubt one of the most effective ways through which investors are able to diversify their . Gold is definitely rare and the fact is that the value of the shiny yellow metal does not always move parallel to other financial instruments or assets such as equities or propert.
