    Description

    This medal is 1.25 inches hanging lenght, weighs 7 grams, was cast in Rome and dates from the 18th century. Its auction will benefit two Carmelite Convents who feed poor kids in South America.
    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, acquire a copy of this book.
