This silver medal, created by Jan (I) Smeltzing in 1689, depicts Frederick III, Elector of Brandenburg. The obverse features a bust portrait of the elector, while the reverse depicts a scene with a winged figure, representing Victory, standing on a dolphin above a reclining figure holding a trident. The medal, measuring only 5.6 cm in diameter, was likely commissioned as a commemorative piece, celebrating the elector's achievements. This type of commemorative medal, known as a "jeton", was a popular form of art in the 17th century.
