Italian Campo dei Fiori Medal Jesus Christ and Hebrew script

The original "Medaille du Campo del Fiori" was discovered in March of 1897 in the Campo del Fiori flea market in Rome. Believed to have been created during the 1st century A.D. According to religious scholars, the portrait of Christ is nearly identical to the image on the Shroud of Turin. The beard, mustache, hair and even mouth are similarly depicted. Many agree that the engraver possibly knew Christ and sculpted from life.

After 1897 was created lot of replicas of the medallion in various sizes and metals, and this one, cast in bronze.
