Absolutely amazing cufflinks made of authentic vintage coins from Vatican City, Rome! These coins were minted from 1951 to 1958. They feature Fortitude standing with a lion at her feet! "Fortitude" is written in Latin below. Fortitude is courage, bravery, boldness, fearlessness, mettle or intrepidity. Symbolism: Its accompanying animal is the lion. Often, Fortitude is depicted as having tamed the ferocious lion. It is sometimes seen in the Catholic Church as a depiction of Christ's triumph over sin. It also is a symbol in some cultures as a savior of the people who live in a community with sin and corruption. Years pictured may differ from those received.
