This silver medal, likely created between 1452 and 1453 by an unknown artist, commemorates the marriage of Eleonora, daughter of King Edward of Portugal, to Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor. The medal's obverse depicts the Emperor, while the reverse features a stylized rose and an inscription. This small, yet detailed artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the artistic practices of the period and the importance of royal marriages in European history.
