10k Gold Miraculous Medal - Small Oval, Made in Italy

In 1830 the Virgin Mary appeared to a nun named Sister Catherine Laboure in Paris. Mary appeared to her three times and told Catherine to have a medal made, which was called the Miraculous Medal. On one side are the words 'O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee,' and bears the image of Mary, on the other side the image of an 'M' surmounted by a cross with two hearts (of Mary and Jesus) and twelve stars.
