Subject:Small japanese or chinese Christian bronze medaillon

I would very appreciated aby opinion about age of this medaillon. It is depicting probably Mary and Jesus. My opinion is that it is 17 th. century because I have seen similar medaillons made in Portugal.

It is Chinese,
Side 1,
聖母瑪利亞為我　　　St. Mary pray for us
等及ｘ x的ｘ孩祈　　and x x x children
(Three characters are worn beyond recognition)

Side 2,
聖若瑟中國大　　　　St. Joseph the great patron
生保為我等祈 saint of China pray for us

I would date the medaillion to the mid 19th century.

With regards,
I.Nagy
