Notes
This is a monumental work of more than 1,632 large-format pages (larger than A4 size), analyzing, studying, and cataloguing all coin and medal issues connected to the pontificate of Pius IX, a historical period of immense significance not only for Christianity but also for the history of Rome, Italy, and the European continent.
The work clearly does not limit itself to the annual medals — those struck year by year as part of the series which, from the 16th century to the present day, recounts the events of the Roman Church and the key episodes in the history of Rome and the Papal States. Nor does it focus solely on large-module specimens, the exceptional medals produced by the new Mint of Rome. Instead, it documents over 3,000 pieces, ranging from extraordinary medals of the Papal States and the Catholic Church to all productions that, in one way or another, depict Pius IX — sometimes even satirically during the revolutionary period of 1848–1849 — often created in France, alongside those connected to the Italian Risorgimento and all those struck throughout Europe, as well as in the United States and Latin America.
Bertuzzi’s work goes beyond other important publications in the field, such as Bartolotti’s volumes, as well as Jean-Pierre Collignon’s studies on the political and satirical medals of the 1848–1952 period.
The photographic documentation is also of the highest quality, with every specimen accompanied by a dedicated image and rarity rating — a feature that may also prove particularly valuable for numismatic professionals specializing in medals.
As is commonly done in the study of coins, the dies of many medals have also been carefully examined and analyzed.
