^Lot 1873 Large, oval, brass religious medallion, ex-1733 Fleet, ex-Meylach.

Large, oval, brass religious medallion, ex-1733 Fleet, ex-Meylach. 8.0 grams, 1-1/2" x 1". Fully intact but corroded, with standing figure of St. Benedict on front and lettering around and inside cross-shape inside oval on back, encrusted loop at top. Curiously, even the Benedictines lost track of what all the letters stood for (Latin wording)! From the 1733 Fleet, pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection (Sedwick Auction 9, with original lot-tag 1983).
