This small silver medal by Giovanni V. Melon, created in 1571, depicts a scene of historical significance. The obverse features a profile portrait of Cardinal Granvelle, while the reverse portrays the Cardinal handing a consecrated standard to Don Juan of Austria, the commander of the Holy League. The medal commemorates the crucial Battle of Lepanto in 1571, where the Holy League defeated the Ottoman Empire. This small but powerful piece of Renaissance art serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in European history.
