Biggest medal I've got

At 82mm and 253g, this challenges my Aes Grave As.

Pius IX - marking the restoration of St. Paul's Outside the Walls after a destructive fire.

I may have brightened up the photographs slightly - a Google Photos auto adjust.   It's maybe a bit darker in reality.

I visited this church in 2015 - this bad photo' is more or less the scene Bianchi captured.

I really like this medal.

 Hard to believe that reverse is a flat surface! A beautiful medal!

It's a thick medal, so there is some depth to it.   I have a few of his other architectural types in a more normal size (about 44mm), but this is the first big one I've got - it's a fairly amazing job.
