Stunning bronze example of a Gil medal.

The "F" after Gil stands for "fecit" - Latin for "made by". It is not his initial.
His name was Jerónimo Antonio Gil.
Beautiful medal.

I know nothing about medals but that Is a beauty!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
