Two sides that tell the story of Banneux
The front depicts the Virgin of the Poor appearing before the young Mariette Beco, surrounded by the inscription “Notre-Dame de Banneux, P.P.N.” The initials stand for the French words “Priez pour nous”, meaning “Pray for us”. The reverse shows the small Banneux chapel beneath the phrase “Je viens soulager la souffrance” – “I come to relieve suffering”.
Its octagonal shape and detailed border give this 15 mm silver-tone religious medal a traditional appearance particularly suited to its commemorative character.
