Always boggles the mind the care with which this medal must have been kept over the last 4 Centuries to remain in such pristine condition. Would be cool to find out the chain of ownership, but i know it's often a gargantuan task in itself. Awesome addition, Z!
That is a definite wowee medal !
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Fantastic piece !!!
