Coat of Arms [reverse] 1526

This 1526 silver medal, created by German artist Matthes Gebel, depicts a coat of arms with a central figure holding a sword and a banner. The inscription surrounding the image reads "MD.XVI CRISTO.FER.KN.IES.VON.KREIS.TO" in a circular format. The detail of the image, along with the meticulous inscription, is characteristic of Gebel's work, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in metal. This medal, likely created for a specific individual, provides a glimpse into the use of heraldry and religious iconography in the early 16th century.
