This medals dating can be confirmed on pages 2 and 3 of
the book AN INTRODUCTION TO RELIGIOUS MEDALS, by Bob Forrest, and published by
NUMISMATICA INTERNATIONAL in 2004. In addition, this book has chapters
(outlined in the table of contents), describing each of the categories of
medals, their possible place of pilgrimage (acquisition), and origin of the
mint where they were made. We recommend that anyone serious about collecting
medals from this period, acquire a copy of this book.
