This week our highlighted piece is a remarkable commemorative silver medal honoring Archbishop Pasquale Macchi featuring the Madonna and Child, currently available for purchase on our online shop. The medal is in pristine condition. Case is in decent shape but with minor damage to top of lid.
The Archbishop, Pasquale Macchi (1926-2006) was a Catholic Archbishop and private secretary to Pope Paul VI. He was ordained to the Catholic priesthood in 1946 and appointed to the Roman Catholic Territorial Prelature of Loreto by Pope John Paul II in 1988 to be later consecrated as a bishop by Pope John Paul II on January 1989.
