This beautifully crafted silver-coloured medal was issued to commemorate the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman on 19th September 2010, a milestone event in British Catholic history. With a 6cm diameter, the medal features a finely detailed relief of Cardinal Newman, honouring his lasting influence on the Church and his journey from Anglicanism to Catholicism.

John Henry Newman (1801–1890) was a renowned theologian, writer, and scholar. Originally an Anglican priest, he converted to Catholicism in 1845 and later became a cardinal. His deep reflections on faith, reason, and conscience have left a profound legacy, shaping Catholic thought for generations. In 2019, he was canonised as a saint, further affirming his enduring spiritual impact.

This commemorative medal was produced for the occasion of his beatification during Pope Benedict XVI’s historic visit to the UK in 2010. The ceremony at Cofton Park, Birmingham, was a defining moment in British Catholic history, marking the first beatification to take place on British soil.

Notably, 2025 marks 135 years since Cardinal Newman’s passing, making this a particularly meaningful year to reflect on his legacy. Housed in an elegant display case, this limited-edition medal is a cherished keepsake for those who appreciate Newman’s contributions to the faith. Once sold, this item will not be restocked.
