Catholic religious medal

Finally got my camera fixed!!!!! Have been a member for a while but this is my first picture posted. I found this medal at an old stagecoach stop from the 1890's NW of Albuquerque, NM. It is called, "Santo Nino De Atocha", (Baby Jesus). It is at least 100 years old. If your interested in this kind of stuff, Google, "Santo Nino De Atocha" its quite a story.

I wish I could find a couple of these to override the crazy fortune teller silver necklace with pentagram I found in the park! I think I will soak it in Holy Water.

No, I think it's either brass or copper. I was told not to clean it but I did. I wanted to see it clearer and besides it's not going anywhere.
