(3cm) across by 1/8 in. (2 mm) thick and weighs between 18 and 20 gms. on my postal scale.  Johannes XXIII Pontifex Maximus is in raised letters around the relief portrait of the Pope.  Mistruzzi, incised beneath the cameo, may be the artist.  Savelli, incised in smaller letters just above the rim, is probably the designer of the coin.  The obverse features a dove of peace above the papal crown. Corona Aurea Super Caput Eius is in raised letters around the rim.  Pr.Non and Novemb. is on either side of the crown.  A MCMLVIII is beneath the crown.  At the bottom edge 800 is in the oval left of the Jerusalem cross.  Something is at the right of the cross but my eyes are to old to read it.  Please email if you have any questions.  Payment in USD is due within 10 days of auction close by money order, personal check, or PayPal.
