Description:
- Medal Congregación Mariana de la Inmaculada y S. Francisco de Borja. Bank employees of Valencia.
- Die cut in aluminium, from the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. The high relief of the Medal has a good quality and keeps its original period cord.
- Obverse: The Immaculate Conception is depicted, surrounded by floral decorations.
- Reverse: Logo or Monogram with the initials JHS intertwined with each other, with a small cross at the top, and sun rays with the centre in the Symbol itself.
- The JHS monogram was used by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and thus became his symbol. The most widely accepted theory is that it corresponds to the first three letters, in Greek and in capital letters, of the name "Jesus".
- Another theory is that they correspond to the initials of the Latin phrase "Iesus Hominum Salvator", which translates as "Jesus, saviour of men".
- Medal with flat handle and ring. Plain edge.
- We have not found any Contrast or Distinctive on the Medal, which would provide us with information about the identity of its authors.
- The Medal is made in a personal style with great ease and excellent workmanship, achieving harmonious and expressive effects in the high reliefs.

Conservation and Damage:
- The medal is in a good state of preservation.
- Both the obverse and the reverse of the medal show light wear.
- On the edges of the edge there are several tiny dents.

Comments:
- Both the Measurements and the Weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector's item.
- Due to the unavoidable differences in tonalities between photos and reality, it must be taken into account that the tones of the colours of the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The object shows the wear and tear of its age, as well as some stains. It has minor flaws.
- The information provided here are personal opinions not contrasted. SHIPMENTS ARE MADE ON MONDAYS.
