Divine Craftsmanship

Marvel at the beautiful flower-shaped scalloped border that frames the Holy Infant in royal splendor - a design feature that elevates this medal above common circular versions.

The artisan has captured the Infant Jesus in His traditional royal robes and crown one hand raised in blessing over your life and family.

Note the carefully rendered details of the Christ Child's face reflecting the serene yet powerful countenance that has comforted the faithful for centuries.

The integrated bail design reveals this was crafted as a single-piece die-striking by skilled religious artisans in mid-century America specifically for pilgrims to the Connecticut shrine.

The warm gold-tone finish has developed a reverent patina that CANNOT be reproduced - a testament to decades of faithful handling and prayer.

The reverse proudly declares its origin: 'INFANT OF PRAGUE SHRINE NEW HAVEN CONN' - documenting a specific moment in American Catholic history.

The use of 'CONN' rather than 'CT' dates this piece precisely to before 1963 when postal abbreviations were standardized - a detail that confirms its authentic mid-century origin.
