Pius XI (1922-39) A.V Christian Archaeology w/Case

Official silver Annual Medal of Pope Pius XI, year V, commemorating the new building of the School of Christian Archaeology in 1926. Obverse: Pope right. Reverse: Figure of Archaeology holding a lamp in her right hand, a book in her left. Toned, hairlines and light scratches. Hard-to-find medal by itself--only 2,000 minted on the issue date--and even harder to find with the original case.
