| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Aureus Magnus" issues were private gold strike produced by a West German firm in the late 1950s, intended for the Catholic souvenir and devotional trade rather than as legal tender. Pius XII died in October 1958, which almost certainly accelerated or motivated this particular piece's release as a commemorative item capitalizing on his death.
The X# prefix in the Krause reference system designates it as a non-circulating or fantasy issue — not recognized by the Federal Republic as official coinage in any capacity.
