2023 High Relief Pax Lamb Silver Proof.

The Grove Minting Company revisits a historic design in recognition of the need for peace within the world. This modern silver medal is based upon a gold ducat, a widely used European coin during the medieval and early modern periods. The ducat originated in Venice in the 13th century and quickly gained popularity due to its recognizable design, serving as a reliable medium of exchange in both trade and commerce, and often used for international transactions. Various regions across the Holy Roman Empire minted their own versions of the ducat, each with distinct inscriptions and religious or heraldic motifs. One particular gold ducat from 1700 showcased the Paschal Lamb, also known as Agnus Dei, conveying a message of hope, divine protection, and reconciliation. The date is inscribed as a chronogram with uppercase Roman Numerals "MDCC". The Latin lettering: TEMPORA NOSTRA PATER DONATA PACE CORONA, translates to "Father Crown Our Times With The Gift Of Peace", thus holding deep religious significance.

Struck in .999 Fine Silver at 30.0mm wide, weighing 15.55g with medal-turn and plain edge, this commemorative encapsulates both religious symbolism and practical economic function.
