Each beautifully designed medal is stamped in heavy gauge bronze and finished in a heavy silver plating that is thick enough to be engraved. The medals are rubbed with a soft patina to give them the distinct 'Py look.'
The St. Joan of Arc medal comes in a jewelry box with a 24" chain. The inscription translates to: St Joan of Arc Protector of France.
