Obverse: Intricate pattern of a folding fan; Reverse: Inscription: Honorio Vallejo Consuelo Gallo - Gerrole Pasco 20 Agosto 1898 - Padrinos Aniceto Gallo Apolonia R. De Ruiz. A uniquely designed medal, this piece celebrates the baptism of a child, an important milestone in a Catholic country such as Peru. This example is very well designed, with the intricate fan pattern on the obverse being particularly attractive. Good luster remains, in addition to some mottled rainbow toning. Sold with an envelope from Henry Christensen.
