Her inventory notes mention the following. In the late17th century, the Bishop of Mexico authorized a Catholic devotional medal ofOur Lady of Guadalupe. A limited number of those medals were minted in Rome andused as gifts for wealthy Catholic patrons. That medal helped the bishop(Francisco de Aguiar y Seijas) fund the building of the new Basilica from1682-1708. This is one of those medals. Similar medals can be found in theFranciscan Museum in Rome. A copy of that medal collection is posted forreference.
