1296-Gold
medallion presented to Edmund Barton by Pope Leo XIII, 1902.
Edmund Barton
visited Pope Leo XIII in Rome before he attended the Coronation
of Edward VII in London in 1902. Barton’s classical education enabled
him to converse with the Pope in Latin. The meeting between Barton
and the head of the Roman Catholic Church provoked controversy among
Protestants in Australia.
