The official annual medal for Year V (2017) of Pope Francis’s pontificate, struck in bronze by the Italian State Mint for the Vatican numismatic office. Only 1,500 were issued — far fewer than the usual 4,000 — making this a scarce year for collectors.

  • Size: Diameter 44 mm (1,73 inch); weight 40 gr
  • Material: Bronze
  • Design: Front FRANCISCUS P.P. ANNO V MMXVII; reverse “HOSPES ERAM ET COLLEGISTIS ME” (Mt 25,35)
  • Edition: 1,500 medals, each numbered on the edge to match its certificate
  • Certificate: Guarantee certificate stamped by the Vatican Secretariat of State and the Italian State Mint
  • Shipping: Ships from Rome, Italy

The reverse takes its motto from Matthew 25 — “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” — rendered as a scene of welcome by the shore. Annual papal medals are the Vatican’s own year-by-year record of each pontificate.
