This bronze medal, created by Annibale Fontana around 1550, portrays Consalvo Fernandez de Cordoba, a prominent Spanish military leader of the 15th and 16th centuries. The medal features a profile portrait of Cordoba, adorned with a detailed rendering of his armor and beard. The inscription surrounding his image "CONSALVVS GLORIA DVCIS GOM FEM IN GLO CON DICTATOR MAGNI DVCS" identifies him and his accomplishments as a military commander. This work exemplifies the Renaissance practice of creating commemorative medals to honor important figures, showcasing Fontana's talent for capturing likeness and detail.
