Description from the seller
An ancient religious medal evokes the legend of the appearance of the venerated image of Senhor Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, which according to tradition is said to have run ashore on the coast at the Matosinhos beach (in the old municipality of Bouças) in the year 1621 (although the original legend often traces back to the 13th century or to earlier finds, the inscription expressly refers to a date or milestone of 1621).
Details of the inscription on the Medal
Obverse/Reverse with text: It reads clearly "IMAGE OF BOM JESUS / APPEARED ON MATOSINHOS BEACH IN THE YEAR 1621 / FROM BOUÇAS".
Material: Metal with an aged patina, typical of medals of popular devotion or pilgrimage from past centuries.
