Rosary - .925 silver - 2025 - Pope Leo XIV Cross

Extraordinary Papal Pectoral Cross in 925 Silver

An exceptionally rare official piece personally gifted by Pope Leo XIV

Offered here is a prestigious and exceptional papal pectoral cross in 925 silver, an extraordinarily rare piece: this is the pectoral cross that Pope Leo XIV personally bestows upon the most distinguished Cardinals and Bishops during special private audiences at the Vatican.
The set is complete with its elegant original case in fine red leather, embellished with the papal coat of arms and the Holy Father’s personal motto, “IN ILLO UNO UNUM,” displayed both on the top and inside the case.

The Cross and Chain are made entirely of 925 silver, as confirmed by the hallmarks.
The back of the cross bears the raised inscription “Leo XIV - Peace be with you” and the papal coat of arms. A particularly noteworthy detail: these elements are not simply engraved, but finely rendered in high relief by skilled master silversmiths exclusively for the Pope (this piece is not available for commercial sale).
Included is a color photograph of the Holy Father, complete with a reproduction of his autograph and his coat of arms printed on the back.

The cross has been worn only a few times and has no noteworthy scratches; the case shows only very slight, entirely negligible signs of rubbing.

Technical specifications:
Metal: 925 silver (authenticity guaranteed by the official hallmarks visible in the photo gallery).
Total weight (cross and chain): approximately 76 grams.
Dimensions:
Cross: approximately 91 × 71 mm
Chain: approximately 900 mm.
Case: approximately 150 × 100 mm.

Please note that there are no hallmarks on the cross; there are three hallmarks, and they are on the chain. The cross has, however, been examined using XRF and found to be 925 silver.
