Pope Receives Acqui Jubilee Coin For Vatican Collection
The pope was shown a Jubilee coin from the Acqui diocese found in 1698 during church foundation work. It was the sole surviving coin of Innocent IX, given to a architect who later repaid the diocese. The piece completed the Vatican coin series. William Waldorf Astor bought the Chesapeake flag captured by the Shannon and donated it to the United Service Museum. Some U.S. papers criticized an American-born, naturalized Briton for bidding on the flag amid wartime sentiment.
