My mother had several rosaries and when she died we split them up amongst us all for ourselves and our children.
The one I have saved for my youngest daughter has an Agnes Dei medal attached. She nevr showed it to any of us while she was alive but I researched it here: sacramentals.org/agnusdei.htm and am now doubting that it is original even though the article says the replicas contain no wax and mine does. The wax does not have an imprint of the lamb but the opposite side of the locket has a small indention with an embossed image of the Lamb of God.
If I give it to her I will tell her it is not original, will explain the significance of the original but my question is:
Is there any harm in treating this one as if it is an original with the daily prayer?
 
If the sacramental has helped you or your daughter to pray, and to help call to mind the “lamb of God,” well then the sacramental has done exactly what it is intended to do.

You could always have your priest do a conditional blessing on it just in case it hasn’t been blessed before.
