Fame Crowning the Queen before an Altar [reverse] 1761

Johann Lorenz Natter's 1761 silver medal, "Fame Crowning the Queen before an Altar," celebrates the coronation of a queen. The medal's reverse depicts a queen standing tall, holding a scepter and orb. A winged figure of Fame, representing glory and honor, crowns her. The inscription "CORON. XXIII. SEPT. MDCCLXI" designates the coronation date of September 23, 1761. This medal is a fine example of Natter's skill in creating detailed and symbolic commemorative works. The medal's small size (3.45 cm diameter) allows for a high level of detail in the figures and symbols, making it a valuable piece for art historians and numismatists alike.
