Here on consignment for sale from one of the convents wework with is an 18th century nun's rosary-belt-clip medal. The Prioress wroteto tell us that a small catch of these medals was recently discovered in one oftheir storage rooms. Their sale will help their community during these troubledtimes. Teresa of Ávila, (28 March 1515 -- 4 or 15 October 1582), also calledSaint Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish Carmelite nun and prominent Spanish mysticand religious reformers. Elijah is honored on July 20; he is the patron of theCarmelite Order.

This medal is 2 inches hanging length and it weighs 27grams. It is a large medal that would have hung from the nun's leatherbelt-clip.

This medals dating can be confirmed on pages 2 and 3 ofthe book AN INTRODUCTION TO RELIGIOUS MEDALS, by Bob Forrest, and published byNUMISMATICA INTERNATIONAL in 2004. In addition, this book has chapters(outlined in the table of contents), describing each of the categories ofmedals, their possible place of pilgrimage (acquisition), and origin of themint where they were made. We recommend that anyone serious about collectingmedals from this period acquire a copy of this book.
