Archangel Saint Michael Medal

In brief: Saint Michael, whose name means "Who is like God?" (Quis ut Deus), is the archangel who slays the dragon; celebrated on 29 September, he is one of the protector saints of France. Read our guide to the Saint Michael medal.

This second Saint Michael is a medal in 18-karat yellow gold that takes up the archangel in a more dynamic movement, his lance raised over the dragon.

An archangel in the thick of battle

Michael is seen in three-quarter view, in full momentum, a lance brandished over the dragon writhing at his feet, wings spread behind him. The composition, livelier than the first model, captures the moment of combat rather than the victory won. A medal for those who love scenes in action, which keeps the same protective meaning as every image of Saint Michael slaying the dragon.

A medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold

Like all our gold medals, this Archangel Saint Michael is made by stamping: the 750/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, for a crisp and lasting relief, then satin-finished. The gold weight is 2.90 g in 18 mm. Exclusive Manufacture Mayaud model, registered with the INPI, made in France.

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. This Archangel Saint Michael is available in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver, in silver and mother-of-pearl and in gold plate; see also our Saint Michael with the shield. To be worn on an 18-karat yellow gold trace chain.
