Commentary
Simple lame d’argent sertie dans un entourage creux abondamment décoré de fruits au dessous d’une couronne surmontée d’une petite croix. Sous celle-ci un globule est traversé par un anneau permettant de porter la médaille en pendentif. L’originalité de cette médaille réside dans le fait que ce sont les grands-parents fêtant leurs noces d’or qui offrent cet objet à leur petite fille.
Simple silver blade set in a hollow frame abundantly decorated with fruits below a crown surmounted by a small cross. Below this, a globule is crossed by a ring allowing the medal to be worn as a pendant. The originality of this medal lies in the fact that it is the grandparents celebrating their golden wedding anniversary who offer this object to their granddaughter

Historical background
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
It was customary in the past to give a treizain during the wedding mass. This treizain was blessed and signified entry into a community of property for the married couple. The treizain, which later became a medal or wedding token, was so called in honor of Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles. This practice continued until the first half of the 20th century. The reference work on the subject is the work of Jules Florange, Love and marriage in numismatics, Moulins, 1936 now replaced by that of Henri Térisse, La Numismatique du Mariage, Argenton-sur-Creuse 2008.
