It looks really cool with Jesus on one side and mother Mary on the other. Can't read the foreign writing Would like to know where it is from, what year it is, and if it is worth anything. If not it don't matter because I really like the way the coin looks. Thanks for your help.
Latin Reverse: Virgin Mother Obverse: Our Redeemer in Blood (And another word.) Hey, its been since 1970 when I took one semester of Latin in college, whadda ya want from me. Or it could be Italian, but I think not. value? Nada, a religious medal.
Just my two cents... Treashunt, if the Latin word you can't identify is that last word, Tuo, maybe the Spanish word Tu, which means "you" or "your", was derived from Latin. Idk that much about Latin, but I've taken a bit of spanish and know that a lot of the subject pronouns are derived from Latin. Doesn't seem to make since in the context of the page, but hey, its my two cents worth. (I have a feeling im about to have holes shot through my logic) Kicks
The obverse should translate to something like "You redeemed us in your blood". The reverse, obviously translates to Virgin Mother. Its interesting to note that the bust of Mary rests on a crescent, a symbol commonly associated with both Roman goddesses. On antoniniani of the third century, the empress is depicted on a crescent in precisely the same manner as Mary is here. Makes one wonder what sources the engraver was using for this!
To give Treashunt a quick review: Redemisti (verb, indicative active 2nd person singular) nos (noun, accusative singular) in sanguine (noun, ablative singular) tuo (noun functioning as adjective, ablative singular). ;D
