Geoffroi de Charny and his wife Jeanne de Vergy are the first reliably recorded owners of the Shroud of Turin.
The first public exhibition of the Shroud is memorialized in The Pilgrimage Medal shown here and dating from that time.
The medal shows the image of the Shroud with very precise indications in spite of its small dimensions.
On this medal one can see a frontal and dorsal view of the body, the linen herring patterns, four marks of burns as well as the coats of arms of the Charny and Vergy families.
This pilgrimage medal is exhibited at the Cluny museum in Paris (France).
