This 1522 silver medal depicts Friedrich III, the Wise, Duke and Elector of Saxony. The anonymous artist captures Friedrich in profile, wearing a cap and collar. The inscription around the rim identifies the sitter and includes the title "Elector of Saxony." This medal was likely commissioned to commemorate Friedrich III's rule and to solidify his status as a prominent figure in German history. The medal is a fine example of Renaissance portraiture and reflects the artistic trends of the era.
