SOLD! Although this medal has seen much wear, the design depicting Archangel Michael and the body of Satan in the form of a dragon, is stunningly Art Nouveau. I’ve never found another one like it. Heavier than your average medal, it measure 7/8 inch across. On the back- Quis Deus (translated What God).
In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with Saint George, became the patron saint of chivalry and is now also considered the patron saint of police officers, paramedics and the military.
Apart from his being a patron of warriors, the sick and the suffering also consider Archangel Michael their patron saint.
Based on the legend of his 8th-century apparition at Mont-Saint-Michel, France, the Archangel is the patron of mariners in this famous sanctuary.
