On the visible side, there is a finely engraved representation of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre, Paris, recognizable by its characteristic domes and the arrangement of its facade. The semi-circular inscription on the upper edge is partially legible: \"S. C. MONTMARTRE\", referring to the Sacré-Cœur. A suspension ring molded into the mass allows it to be worn as a pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has a matte patina, typical of religious objects worn and handled over time. The slightly satin appearance of the metal suggests industrial manufacturing, probably from the first half or mid-20th century, consistent with the engraving style and general shape. No manufacturer's mark is visible on this side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is in slight relief: the basilica occupies the center of the medal, with a meticulous architectural rendering. The details of the domes and arches are well-defined, which attests to precise work despite the wear. The edge of the medal is regular, with no additional decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe suspension hole is wide, allowing a chain or cord to pass through easily. The whole testifies to a worn use, probably as a religious pendant or personal devotional object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is photographed on a wooden box background with gilded decoration, which highlights its retro appearance and visual authenticity. No major defects are visible on the displayed side, apart from some superficial signs of wear due to age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
