The following is the description of the medal ribbon as found on a card included with it; \"Past Sovereign (the word is misspelled on the card) Prince. The Jewel of the sixteen degree, viz.: A diamond shaped mother-of-pearl plate having encrusted upon it in gold, a hand holding a balance in equipoise, on one side of which shall be a \"D\" and on the other a \"Z\"; beneath the center of the scale shall be a dagger with the point up, resting on which shall be a star with two smaller stars on either side thereof.

The medal ribbon is attached to a leather backing with gold lettering with the words \"Adam \u0026amp; Westgate Co. 387 Washington St.; Boston, Mass. 02108.\" Apparently the medal is pinned or attached to a plastic flat piece, which is included with the medal, which in turn inserted in the top pocket of your jacket to wear the ribbon, no need to pin it to your clothing.

The wreath enamel is all intact as is the golden coloring outlining the leafs. The ribbon is intact with minor signs of fraying to the thread used to attach the ribbon the pin back bar. There is minor wear and marks to the leather backing and wallet as well as depressions in the leather from the medal itself pushing against it. There is minor soiling to the card with the description. Other than that the entire piece appears to have been seldom used and was cherished by Mr. Driscoll.

The medal does have scattered tiny flecks throughout, which can be seen in the photos. These we believe are original to the making of the medal. The edge of the medal is plain. A nice-looking medal, which would make a worthy addition to any collection. Please carefully review the photos as they are part and parcel of our description. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1866-1867. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vatican. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engraver: Ignazio Bianchi. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight and Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e The medal weighs ~33.5 grams, is ~44 millimeters in diameter, and ~3.5 millimeters thick at the edge. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Struck by the Mint of Rome. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Has the name \"I.BIANCHI.S\" under the pope's bust on the obverse. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Listed as Mazio No. 743. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e For international buyers, please note that the new US postal rates for overseas shipping are very high and we are unable to change them. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. Please check the cost of shipping before bidding. The medal is in what I would characterize as XF+ condition with dark toning. It is much darker than the photos suggest having chocolate tones with very nice eye appeal. The medal does have scattered tiny flecks throughout, which can be seen in the photos. The medal shows some wear, but no appreciable scratching and minimum marking to the surface (except for the darker flecks. A nice medal, which would make a great addition to your collection. Please view photos for additional condition information and to appreciate the beauty of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giamer Antiques and Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36576021938344,"sku":"","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0399\/0717\/products\/IT036.jpg?v=1601929697"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0399\/0717\/collections\/MED046.JPG?v=1397664553","url":"https:\/\/giamerantiquesandcollectibles.com\/collections\/medals.oembed?page=10","provider":"Giamer Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
