The medal of St. Benedict tells a lot using several symbols, any of which can speak to the prayer life of an individual:

The front of the medal shows an image of Benedict, with a cross and, often, with a scroll or paper indicating his rule of life. Also on the front of the medal will be some reference to “peace” and/or Christ's monogram: IHS.
Also on the front of the medal are a broken cup and a raven. These refer to legends about Benedict's life. After he had spent a number of years as a hermit, a group of monks asked Benedict, to be their abbot. However, he and they didn't mesh. Eventually, they tried to kill Benedict, with a poisoned cup and poisoned bread. Before he ate, Benedict prayed over his intended meal. The cup broke and a raven flew down to snatch the bread away. Needless to say, Benedict left that community.
Usually found on the front of the medal — but sometimes appearing on the back — are either the words, or first letters of the Latin words: “Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti” (“Cross of the Holy retailer Father Benedict”), and “ejus in obitu nro praesentia muniamur” (“At our death, may we be protected by his presence”).
The back of the medal of Benedict tells even more. While there is some variation, its primary feature is the cross. In and around that cross are many, many letters. They indicate the first letters of several phrases in Latin:

CSSML: “Crux sacra sit mihi lux” (“Holy Cross be my light”) appears on the upright of the cross.
NDSMD: “Non draco sit mihi dux” (“Let not the dragon be my guide”), appears on the cross' horizontal bar.
Around the cross is a ring of many letters, which also refer to Benedict's encounters against evil: VRS, NSMV, SMQL, IVB. These translate as “Begone, Satan, do not tempt me with your lies. You offer me an evil cup; drink your own poison.” In Latin, this is: “Vade retro Satana, nunquam suade mihi vana — sunt mala quae libas, ipse venena bibas.”
