Medal Vatican City VT VNVM SINT (Jubilee) 1975
This medal depicts Jesus Christ uniting two factions, previously at odds with each other. Whether these factions are churches, individuals, Jews and gentiles, different religions, or entire nations is not clear, but VT VNVM SINT, or UT UNUM SINT without the stylized Us, is Latin for 'as one.' This may be a reference to the prayer of Jesus recorded in John 17:21 in the Bible.
The reverse shows buildings of the Vatican in Rome, with annotation ANNO JVBILAEO (another stylized U) meaning 'year of jubilee.' This ties back to Leviticus 25:8ff.
As far as I know, these medals are made only in base metal. If you can find one made of silver (ask a jeweler), it will be worth more. Otherwise values are quite low:
worn: $2 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $4
well preserved: $8
fully uncirculated: $15
