NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17932 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 08:45 am Going through a bag of mixed coins I bought a few months ago, this little brass medallion (about the size of a US 1c coin) was in the bottom. It looks as though it once had a loop for hanging. Does anyone recognize it? Thanks! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 09:05 am @numisrob, it is always fun to find a religious medal in those mixed bags! With an inscription of SEP.B.F.O.S.M.V. and Mary with a bunch of swords on the other side, I think that this relates to the Seven Blessed Founders of the Servitas Order. Here is a link to a similar piece: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...n-1923801123 Here is the information provided with that medal: Quote: Front:Ntra Sra SocorroReverse:SEP.B.F.O.S. SEVEN BLESSED FOUNDERS OF THE SERVITAS ORDERThe seven founding saints of the Order of the Servants of Mary: Bonfilio, Bartolome, Juan, Benito, Gerardino, Ricovero and Alejo. Being merchants in Florence, they withdrew by common accord to Monte Senario to serve the Blessed Virgin Mary, founding an Order under the Rule of St. Augustine. They are commemorated on February 17, in which the last of them, Alejo (1310), died...
