Rewoliński / described and prepared for printing by the collection’s owner, Kraków 1887 (limited to inscriptions in the Polishlanguage). The first part of the paper introduces the concept of a medal by referencing dictionary definitionsand numismatic information, and subsequently places it in a religious context. The second partpresents the research material: the profile of the author and a macro- and microstructural descriptionof the catalog.
