Art Treasures Of The Vatican

By pjpuchino, 14 May, 2009
Description

This is named "The Art Treasures Of The Vatican". It is similiar looking to a nightstand in construction, with 4 pedastool legs. It has 4 drawers that slide out from the front of the stand. Each drawer is red velvet lined, and hold 25 coins each. There is a 5th drawer that slides out as well, where I keep the book describing each art treasure piece, and the certificate of authenticity. The 100 solid silver coins are individually edgemarked in detail of the art treasures of the Vatican and a description of the art piece on the back of each coin. The book includes an introduction, detailed information of each art treasure coin, and the certificate of authenticity, dated Sep. 1, 1976.
