| Additional information |
This piece has no basis in the official coinage of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Bundesbank issued no silver medallion or coin under papal designation in 1963, and "Aureus Magnus Paul VI" corresponds to no recognized German state or federal emission. The reference X#M143 places it in Krause's miscellaneous world issues — a category that historically absorbed privately commissioned medals, fantasy pieces, and para-numismatic items of disputed origin.
Paul VI was elected June 21, 1963. Any issue struck in that year under his name would have had an exceptionally narrow production window.
