Vintage French Penin Poncet Silver Medal of Saint Rose of Lima

Vintage French Penin Poncet Silver Medal of Saint Rose of Lima

This is a lovely medal of Saint Rose of Lima.  It is signed Penin Poncet (actually 2 different medal makers from Lyon, France) and has the french silver hallmark on the loop.  This hallmark indicates a silver content of at least 800 or 80% silver.

The medal is smaller in size and measures just under 3/4" in diameter.  

Very lovely!!!

Comes in a gift box.

Shipping is by USPS first class mail.  I typically process an order within 1-2 business days.
