The official medal of the first year of Pope Francis' pontificate is available for sale, in limited and numbered mintage.
It was coined by the Polygraphic Institute and the Italian State Mint in gold, silver and bronze.
It has a diameter of forty-four millimetres, and the image it depicts is the work of the artist Mariangela Crisciotti.
The obverse depicts the Pope and, on the right hand side, the signature of the artist.
Around this image there is the phrase “FRANCISCUS PONT. MAX. AN. I”. The rim of the reverse side bears the phrase which profoundly affected the young Jorge Mario Bergoglio when, at the age of seventeen, he received his call from God: “VIDIT ERGO JESUS PUBLICANUM ET QUIA MISERANDO ANTQUE ELIGENDO VIDIT, AIT ILLI SEQUERE ME”.
Around the edge there is the phrase “E CIVITATE VATICANA” and the number of the medal.
Each exemplar shall be accompanied by a guarantee certificate stamped by the Vatican Secretariat of State and the Italian State Mint.
Mintage: 200 pieces in gold,  3,000 pieces in silver, 3000 pieces in bronze, all of which numbered.
