Vatican – Silver Medal 1958 – Pope Pius XII – Brussels World's Fair Participation – by Mistruzzi
Obverse
Bust of Pope Pius XII facing left, wearing richly decorated vestments. Latin inscription: “PIUS XII PONTIFEX MAXIMUS A. XX”. Below the shoulder: artist’s signature “MISTRUZZI”.
Reverse
The Virgin Mary stands holding a large cross on her shoulder, extending her arms protectively over a group of kneeling and prostrate faithful. City walls in the background. Around the edge: “APOSTOLICA SEDES UNIV. EXPOSITIONEM BRUXELLENSEM PARTICIPAT”. At exergue: the date in Roman numerals.
Historical Context
Struck in 1958, this medal commemorates the Vatican’s official participation in the Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58), a landmark international exhibition symbolizing post-war optimism and spiritual engagement with modernity. Pope Pius XII, nearing the end of his papacy, continued the tradition of promoting Catholic presence on the world stage. Designed by Giuseppe Mistruzzi, the Vatican’s principal medallist, the work reflects both religious symbolism and institutional pride.
