Antique Religious Medal - Sacred Heart of Jesus

Antique or vintage religious medal depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The front shows an image of Jesus Christ with his Sacred Heart visible and surrounded by a halo. Inscriptions around the edge read "O. MI. JESU MISERICORDIA!" which translates from Latin to "O my Jesus, mercy!". The medal is likely made of a brass or bronze alloy, possibly with a plating, and has developed a patina over time. The reverse side, not pictured, typically features another religious image, such as the Virgin Mary or a basilica. This type of devotional item is a common Catholic collectible that can be worn as a pendant or charm.
