Round in shape, it represents, on a mother-of-pearl plate, the angel Raphael in yellow gold, bordered by a yellow gold beaded frieze. Vintage French work from the 1920s. The medal is signed by the famous engraver Emile Dropsy.

The medal is sold on its own, without chain, with the option of adding one on request, and having it engraved on request.

Emile Dropsy (1848-1923), who came from a line of marble-makers, became an engraver, and over the course of his apprenticeship produced numerous medals inspired by religious themes. He received two awards for his engraving skills. Today, he appears as an attractive artist, "the purest of religious medallists and the most sincere of landscape artists".
