Pope Leo XIV - Exclusive official rosary of the...

A fantastic collectible piece intended for enthusiasts, devotees, and collectors of sacred art. This is an official rosary from the pontificate of Leo XIV that presents an extraordinary rarity: the inscription of the papal motto printed on the brown case bears a printing error, with the words IN and ILLO joined together without a space. These misprint specimens were distributed exclusively in the very first days after the Pope's election to a tiny number of guests and dignitaries, then immediately withdrawn and replaced. This feature makes the item elusive and of notable historical value. The rosary is composed of refined beads in glossy white mother-of-pearl, mounted on a solid and gleaming link in silvered metal. The central medal depicts the coat of arms of Pope Leo XIV with the Augustinian motto In illo uno unum on the front, while the reverse bears the image of the Virgin Mary, Mater Ecclesiae. The item was donated in 2025, the Year of the Jubilee of Hope and of Leo XIV's election on May 8 (Robert Francis Prevost), the first pope born in the United States of America. Sale information: The images and pictures of the Pope present in the photographs serve purely illustrative purposes and are not included in the sale. The item comes from the downsizing of a private collection and is sold by a private individual, with no ties to the Vatican or any other ecclesiastical bodies. The shipping costs include careful and protective packing.
