This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1619, commemorates the coronation of Ferdinand II as Holy Roman Emperor in Frankfurt. The medal, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features a profile portrait of Ferdinand II surrounded by an ornate border. This piece is a fine example of commemorative medals created during the Baroque period, and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the time.
