At the base of the figure, I can read

EX S Mt CASINO
MDCCCLXXX

Around the figure I can read

EIVS.IN.OBITV.NRO.PRAE.SENTIA.MVNIAMVR

Beside the figure I can read

CRUXS PATRIS to the left, and BENDICTI to the right

REVERSE


Around the cross I can read

S..M..Q..L..I..V..B PAX V..R..S..N..S..M..U

Encircled in the four quadrants of the cross are CSPB

From top to bottom the cross appears to read CSSML, while the crossbar read NDSMD

St Benedict medal:

The letters in the reverse legend abbreviate Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!
"Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!"
