During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Catholic Counter-Reformationreshaped Europe and expanded into the Americas to evangelize native peoples.Bronze medals were a significant but common object during this period. Eachmedal tells a unique story because they are sourced from Catholic convents,estate collections, and metal detector enthusiasts. Due to their use, beingtouched hundreds or thousands of times, and often being carried and worn inharsh environments, the medals will show the natural surface wear (patina)created by their age, use in devotion, and by exposure to the elements.
