The medal: an ancient jewel with various uses

The medal has its origins in the Roman Empire where it was mainly used to commemorate events. It was also often a coin struck during a second-hand very precise and which was then worn as a pendant around the neck. It was also sometimes set with various more or less precious stones.

With the birth of Christianity, it will commemorate religious festivals and will become increasingly offered for certain occasions such as the baptism medal offered in wealthy families from the beginning of the Middle Ages.

During the Renaissance it was also used to celebrate personalities, whose profile portraits were engraved on the medal. It becomes an artistic object and price differences appear depending on the medalist artist who worked to make the object.

Today, except in the world of sport or military commemorations, the medal remains an object of art and of course a vintage jewelry which is often transmitted in families. The religious meaning (commemoration or protection) still represents a good part of the medals produced, but there are more and more which are engraved to signify an attention, a message, a memory or quite simply for the artistic gesture.

It has become quite easy to find vintage medals, but the quality remains quite disparate. Our selection that you will find here is above all qualitative and only presents vintage medals in excellent conservation and having artistic, religious or commemorative interest.

Many of these medals have a religious connotation with representations mainly of the Virgin, but also of various saints and also of Christ. Some are typically vintage baptismal medals, but also commemoration of miracles such as the medals of the Virgin at Lourdes or even vintage protection medals (Saint Christopher for travel for example).

You will also find many models of the famous love medals branded Augis which figuratively include the lines “more than yesterday and less than tomorrow”. They have existed since 1905 and are still very popular as gifts among couples./p>

We will also find vintage medals dedicated to the horoscope and featuring various astrological signs. Finally, some various medals from the Mint of Paris also appear in this selection.
