As we approach the October 16th feast day dedicated to Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque, we present and extraordinary antique, sterling silver medal with a beautiful depiction of the woman who brought about widespread devotion to the Sacred Heart, surrounded with the French inscription Ce Sacre Coeur Regnera Malgre Satan, "The Sacred Heart will remain in spite of Satan." The 5/8-inch devotional is signed Penin Poncet, a 19th century French engraver and medalist known for his detailed engraving, artistry and intricate designs. The medal is backed with a rare 1/2-body profile of Jesus and his Sacred Heart with the inscription Voila Ce Coeur Qui A Tant Aime Le Hommes,"
Behold this heart which has so loved men." This rare find for collectors of vintage and antique religious items is paired with another 5/8-inch antique medal depicting Maria Immac., "Immaculate Mary," backed with a intricately detailed scene of Mary and Bernadette at the infamous grotto in Lourdes. The cherished pair is complemented by an 18-inch, 1.8 mm, sterling silver rolo chain. The medals are removable and may also be worn individually.
