Oops:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

An official medal to commemorate the first year of\u00a0 Pope Francis\u2019s reign has gone on sale with a spelling mistake in Jesus\u2019s name.<\/span><\/p>\n

The medal, commissioned by the Vatican, spells the son of God\u2019s name \u2018Lesus\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Created by the Italian State Mint, the coin features the Pope\u2019s motto as seen on his coat of arms.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Latin, it says: \u2018Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum et quia miserando antque eligendo vidit, ait illi sequere me\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means: \u2018Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, follow me\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

The words come from the passage that moved the young Jorge Mario Bergoglio to follow God.<\/p>\n

The Vatican have recalled the medallions from sale after the spelling error was pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official press office said that only four had been sold, which they claimed will probably be of value in the future because of their rarity.<\/p>\n

The medals are sold only through official sources with just 400 sets offered for sale, as well as 200 gold coins, 3,000 silver, and 3,000 bronzed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All are numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity from the Vatican Secretariat of State.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
