ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI ...HEROES OF GOD ..STERLING MEDALION !!π
Silvertop had to do some digging to find out about this medallion.....And this is what I found !
This Sterling medallion was minted in 1972 by the American Mint, and this was one of sixty Sterling medallion's in the Heroes of God Collection....For Catholic Digest.
This was the first in the series of 60, marketed at a reduced cost to get you to buy one each Month till you achieved a complete set.
This Sterling round is 39mm in diameter, and has a high relief antique finish.
Coin collecting was very popular when I was a kid, my buddy's Dad was a collector, and my parents were too.
Unfortunately my parents started this series, only to cancel it later on, so I have an incomplete set....But the message stuck.........π
I hope you enjoyed another blast from Little Silvertop's past!!!
Silvertop....Mikeπ

BEAUTIFUL SS Medallion! I love the Prayer of St Francis! Thanks for sharing this lovely medallion!
Have a great evening, my friend, and take care π₯°πΊπ€
Sometimes I need to be reminded @silversaver888, we are all works in progress!πππ€
Cool piece man. π
Too bad you don't have the complete set, so are you planning to find the rest of the set?
I think the complete set would be hard to find. Most of these were probably priced high back then....I have one more that I will share!π

I am so glad they got me into collecting, everyone needs a push forwardπππ
I love antique finish on rounds/coins. How many do you have? Do you intend to show them all?

I really love the look and feel of these rounds. I was just a kid when my parents ordered these, then they saw a monthly bill and they canceled the series, so sad!!
I only have one more and I will show this one soon!
I hope you are having good weather my friend, I have a snowstorm hitting tonight!!π³
