Saint Michael Medal
Saint Michael is a gold-plated christening medal depicting the archangel Michael, wings spread, the Quis ut Deus shield on his arm, slaying the dragon.
The archangel and the Quis ut Deus shield
Michael is seen from the front, wings wide open, a halo behind his head, a shield on his left arm engraved with the Latin inscription QUIS UT DEUS, "Who is like God", the cry attributed to the archangel in his combat; at his feet, the vanquished dragon. Saint Michael is the patron of soldiers and one of the patron saints of France. This shield is an emblematic Manufacture Mayaud design, an exclusive model registered with the INPI.
Mayaud gold plate
This medal is made in Mayaud gold plate: a French-made solid gilded brass base, struck under the same engraved die as the gold version, covered with a 3-micron layer of 18-karat (750/1000) gold. Made in our Paris workshop.
Diameter, engraving and variations
Offered in 18 mm, the classic size. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. Saint Michael is also available in solid yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver, in silver and mother-of-pearl and in vermeil; see also our Archangel Saint Michael with lance.
