    This medal was another item I found in the glass display case a few weeks back. It has N.S. De Guadalupe Rogad P. Nosotros or the Virgin Mary on the one side & Sta. Teresia De Jesu Infante or St Teresa on the other.

    In my research, I found a similar medal with Mary & Jesus on the other side. It was purported to be 800 silver so I thought I might want to check this one out. It does have a mark but I haven't a clue as to its meaning but I am sure someone here does. :happy::happy:

    It is 1 1/4" across & weighs 16 grams.

    "Our Lady of Guadalupe" and "Pray for Us" on one side.
    "Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus" on the other.

    Mexican, of course.

    I have edited the title to add the mark to see if anybody might have an idea if this was the maker. :happy:

    That was the sculptor. I found the same St Theresa in Latin.

    Unlikely to be silver so I will just hold on to it until my buddy who buys gold & silver comes over to test it for me.

    Teresa of Jesus is the same as Teresa of Avila. Remarkable woman, with a wicked sense of humour.;)

    A Spanish saint, hence the connection with Guadalupe.
