AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Medal for a brother of the National Confraternity of the Most Holy Mutilated Christ (Malaga), commemorating its XXX Anniversary (founded in 1939, so the piece dates from around 1969).

Obverse: the old Spanish National Coat of Arms serves as a pedestal for the image of Christ, surrounded by the legend "MUTILADO DE GUERRA POR LA PATRIA" and the inscription "FRANCO 18 JULIO 1936".

Reverse: border with the text "XXX ANIVERSARIO COFRADIA NACIONAL STMO. CTO. MUTILADO MALAGA" and, in the center, the image of the Mutilated Christ carved in relief on the cross, within a laurel crown.

Silver-plated metal. With a ring and brooch to hang as a brother’s medal/insignia.

Historically notable piece: the confraternity was founded after the profanation of the original image (17th century) during the Civil War, incorporating mutilated ex-combatants from the Francoist side. It stopped taking part in processions in 1976. It is currently the Hermandad de la Clemencia.
