medal ident

[pazahawk]

I found this medallion in my late fathers belongings...I presumed it was Templar or heraldic due to the images on the reverse..st cristopher. Jerusalem, paris/Vatican and unknown figures. Sadly I could be completely wrong. the front shows what looks like links or rings with a central wheel surrounded by links...anyway any ideas//? approx. 1.5 inches.





hope ive done this correct !

Welcome to TreasureNet!
Many would call it a Jerusalem Cross, but it does have some fancier stuff going on than most I've seen.
Edit: well actually now having done of search of them it's not too different: http://www.google.com/search?sclien......0...1.1.64.tablet-gws..5.1.413.XYq6_tEMfPQ

Ben is right on, as usual.

Images on the back are (clockwise)

The Resurrection of Christ, The Nativity Scene, The Holy Sepulcher Church, The Church of Bethlehem, and the Star of Bethlehem in the center.

Sometimes called a Pilgrimage Cross or Crusade Cross.
