Description: Description - This medal is 2 inches long and weighs 33 grams of bronze. It is dated 1682 as you can see at the feet of the Virgin of Guadalupe in the posted pictures. 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. Please note, the medal is offered for sale, not the pictures. This medal is from my mother’s estate collection. Bertha who passed away in 2010 at age 97, (The founder of Church-Woman Antiques). Her inventory notes mention the following. In the late 17th century, the Bishop of Mexico authorized a Catholic devotional medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A limited number of those medals were minted in Rome and used as gifts for wealthy Catholic patrons. That medal helped the bishop (Francisco de Aguiar y Seijas) fund the building of the new Basilica from 1682-1708. This is one of those medals. Similar medals can be found in the Franciscan Museum in Rome. A copy of that medal collection is posted for reference. Thanks for your kind support in our work!
