Description:
- Die-cut aluminium medal, with flat handle and without ring. Probably from the second half of the 20th century.
- The high relief of the medal is of good quality.
- Obverse side: Divine Shepherdess of Cantillana, sitting with a cap and staff, next to a sheep. The perimeter is surrounded by an arch of lilies, and at the bottom it has the legend "Divina pastor de Cantillana".
- Back: Chalice with the Sacred Form, and the Logo or Monogram with the initials JHS, with a small cross on the upper part, and some solar rays with the centre in the Symbol itself. The perimeter has a border of spikes and bunches of grapes, surrounded by a cord. At the bottom it has the legend "Eucharistic Fold of the Divine Shepherdess".
- The JHS monogram was used by St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, so it became his symbol. The most 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 would correspond to the initials of the Latin phrase "Iesus Hominum Salvator", which translated would be "Jesus saviour of men".
- Song: Plain without any inscription.
- We have not found any Contrast or Distinctive in the Medal, which gives us the details of the identity of its authors.
Conservation and damage:

- On the edges of the edge it presents irregularities and very small blows.
