Commentary
Selon l’article de Jean-Pol Donné dans le Bulletin Municipal Officiel de Lyon, « Les Pénin, 170 ans de médailles (1ère partie et deuxième partie)», Ludovic Penin (1830-1868), fils de Marius Penin (1807-1880) et élève de Vibert et Fabisch à l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Lyon composera surtout des médailles religieuses et obtiendra d’ailleurs le titre de « graveur pontifical » en 1864. En 1867, Ludovic Penin décide l’acquisition de l’atelier d’estampage de boutons métalliques Mouterde-Billion à Monchat afin de fabriquer les médailles qu’il grave et édite. Ainsi est née la Maison Penin qui a poursuivi son activité sur le même site jusqu’au début du XXIe.
Mais en février 1868, la mort de Ludovic Penin, à l’âge de 38 ans, met en péril cette entreprise. Sur la recommandation de son ami Fabisch, Marius, revenu à Lyon, forma un jeune sculpteur : Alexandre Poncet. En deux ans, Poncet réussit à maîtriser la technique de la gravure en médailles. Dès lors, il se partage entre ses créations propres et la diffusion des médailles issues des poinçons laissés par Marius et Ludovic Penin. La Maison Penin, devenue Penin-Poncet après le mariage d’Alexandre Poncet avec la fille de Ludovic Penin, connait alors une grande prospérité favorisée par l’abandon du privilège de la Monnaie de Paris en 1893..
According to the article by Jean-Pol Donné in the Official Municipal Bulletin of Lyon, \\\"The Pénins, 170 years of medals (part 1 and part 2)\\\", Ludovic Penin (1830-1868), son of Marius Penin (1807-1880) and student of Vibert and Fabisch at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, mainly composed religious medals and obtained the title of \\\"pontifical engraver\\\" in 1864.. In 1867, Ludovic Penin decided to acquire the Mouterde-Billion metal button stamping workshop in Monchat in order to manufacture the medals that he engraved and published.. This is how Maison Penin was born, which continued its activity on the same site until the beginning of the 21st century..
But in February 1868, the death of Ludovic Penin, at the age of 38, jeopardized this enterprise.. On the recommendation of his friend Fabisch, Marius, having returned to Lyon, trained a young sculptor: Alexandre Poncet. In two years, Poncet succeeded in mastering the technique of medal engraving.. From then on, he divided his time between his own creations and the distribution of medals from the hallmarks left by Marius and Ludovic Penin.. The Maison Penin, which became Penin-Poncet after the marriage of Alexandre Poncet to the daughter of Ludovic Penin, then enjoyed great prosperity, encouraged by the abandonment of the privilege of the Paris Mint in 1893..

Historical background
VATICAN - PIUS X (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto)
(4/08/1903 - 20/08/1914)
Born June 2, 1835 in Riese in Veneto (then in Austria-Hungary, now in the province of Treviso, Italy), in a family of modest means, he received the tonsure in 1850 and entered the seminary of Padua. He was ordained a priest in 1858. He became vicar of the parish of Tombolo, before being appointed archpriest of Salzano in 1867, then canon of the cathedral of Treviso in 1875. At the same time, he became spiritual director of the diocesan seminary. In 1884, he was consecrated Bishop of Mantua and then Cardinal-Priest in 1893. When Leo XIII died on July 20, 1903, his most likely successor was his Secretary of State, Cardinal Rampolla. But he was elected on August 4 by fifty votes to ten in Rampolla, and took the name of Pius X. He died on August 20, 1914 in Rome. He was beatified on June 3, 1951 and canonized on May 29, 1954..
