One side shows a saint (halo) blessing another person. Could be Jesus blessing his Mother - since the letters VM might mean Virgin Mary. But the Saint looks more like St. Peter. The other side is definitely Christ, since he is surrounded by a Mandorla. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 11/17/2016 3:04 pm I think this could be a ducat from Venice instead of a religious medal. On the second image S.Mark is depicted: S(anctus) M(arcus) VENET(i)and the Doge kneeling before St. Mark. I cannot read his name. Edited by bart 11/17/2016 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
