ANTIQUE 17TH CENTURY ST. MICHAEL MOTHER MARY BABY JESUS LORETO PILGRIMAGE MEDAL

All our listed items are original Christian devotionals. Some may have been cleaned or polished before their arrival, by their last caretaker. Their use is for personal devotion. Kindly look at all the pictures. The pictures take precedence over the written description when in conflict with it. These are devotional medals from Convents we work with as well as donor collector estates that have gifted their medals to us to help the convents we work with.This medal is 1.25 inches hanging length and weighs 7 grams of bronze. It is from my mother's estate collection and dates from the 17th century. This medals dating can be confirmed on pages 2 & 3 of the book AN INTRODUCTION TO RELIGIOUS MEDALS, by Bob Forrest, and published by NUMISMATICA INTERNATIONAL in 2004. In addition, this book has chapters (outlined in the table of contents), describing each of the categories of medals, their possible place of pilgrimage (acquisition), and origin of the mint where they were made. We recommend that anyone serious about collecting medals from this period acquires a copy of this book. Thanks for your kind support for our work!
