Hello fellow members. Can't find any info on this medal regarding gold purity, weight, country origin, etc.

All I know when googling the inscription is that in Spanish it has a biblical verse from Genesis 6:12 which states toda carne había corrompido su camino.It translates as "all meat had corrupted it's way".

Any help to identify this medal will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@gua, that is a neat piece. Can you please add a closeup pic of the area beneath the baptismal font? Thx. I think I see some numbers there too.

Added: Also please add the weight and diameter. Those often come in handy. Thx.

Yes, I will ask the seller to send me some more pics and the weight/diameter, and will post those as soon as I receive them.

Ok good thx. Those look like hallmarks next to VIVAMOS. I know the color of this piece is gold, but is the seller saying that it is gold or gold-plated silver?

Interesting, I think those are the hallmarks too. The seller says this is a gold medal.

Hello, apologies for the delay. Here are a few more up-close pictures of the medal. It weighs ca. 4 grams.

Looks like it refers to Romans 6 4 one close up. However, the hallmark I am unable to distinguish what it is. The seller says the medal is .900 gold purity, but can't see .900 in the hallmark.
