Imported from France
These medals are handcrafted as they once did in the Medieval era by stamping a medal out of solid bronze which produces magnificent detail. Then a silversmith hand plates each medal with a substantial layer of silver that is extremely durable and thick enough it can be engraved upon. The final touch is a soft antiquing is applied to each medal to further bring out detail. These distinctive and beautiful medals are conversation pieces and at the same time are a testament to ones's Catholic faith.

Translation card included with order
N D is an abbreviation for NOTRE DAME or OUR LADY
The D [is really DE meaning "OF". What looks like an "[" or an "E"(without the center horizontal bar) is the old Latin letter "E"
The last word on left side is LOURDES.
What looks like a triangle is the old Latin letter "A". On the right side the writing is AY[Z P. D. N. which stands for AYEZ PITIE DE NOUS or HAVE PITY ON US
Thus the complete text is "OUR LADY OF LOURDES HAVE PITY ON US"
