Hoydonck-152, Ross-M201 variety, called R1 in the Ross reference.  60mm.

A dramatic issue depicting the famous St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City:

Which your author visited years ago on a family trip during which we managed to misplace my father for 5 hours, finally rediscovering him on the Spanish Steps just in time for dinner.  But I digress.

The piece itself is a superb gem with lustrous surfaces and lovely color.
