This 1592 medal by Matthäus Carl depicts a heraldic coat of arms, likely representing a family or institution. The inscription surrounding the central motif reads "BEAT: SOLI. DEI. IN. DOMO. NO. ATTALIA". The design is characteristic of Renaissance medallic art, featuring a finely detailed and intricate representation of the arms and a clear, legible inscription. This small, circular medal is a testament to Carl's skill as a medallist and the enduring importance of heraldry during the period.
