John Paul II and the Boy Medal

An exceptional gift for the christening day or the day of First Communion for a boy.

The medal commemorating the Great Pontificate of John Paul II is the only one struck in Poland presenting the official papal coat of arms, used with the consent of the Apostolic Nunciature in Poland.

Each medal comes in a blue velvet box. Inside you will find the medal’s certificate of authenticity and some space where to put a dedication and greetings for the child. This silver medal, struck by the Mint of Poland using the pad printing technique, is certain to be an important souvenir, bringing back the memory of important personal events and family celebrations.
