Vatican Recalls Medals After Embarrassing Misspelling Is Discovered

The Vatican on Tuesday abruptly recalled more than 6000 medals it had commissioned to commemorate the pontificate of Pope Francis.  As reported by the Huffington Post, just as the medals produced by the Italian Mint went on sale it was discovered that the name of Jesus had been misspelled in the Latin quotation around the edge of the reverse side.  The coin read "Vidit ergo Lesus..." instead of "Vidit ergo Jesus...." Four of the coins, however, were sold before they were recalled. Those are now valuable collectors' items.
