Rare Vintage Pope Paul VI "Mission to the United Nations" Commemorative Bronze Medal

This substantial 2 1/2-inch commemorative bronze medal honors the historic 1965 visit of Pope Paul VI to the United Nations in New York—the first time a reigning pope addressed the General Assembly. On one side is the striking likeness of Pope Paul VI, while the reverse bears his timeless prayer:

"Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace."

With its impressive size and satisfying weight, this medal has the feel and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The warm bronze patina only adds to its vintage character, making it a meaningful piece for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone who treasures Catholic memorabilia.

Whether displayed on a bookshelf, prayer corner, or desk, it serves as a beautiful reminder of Christ's call to be instruments of peace in a world that so desperately needs it.
