Venus and Cupid Bestowing Two Crowns [reverse] 1699

"Venus and Cupid Bestowing Two Crowns" is a silver medal created by Philipp Heinrich Müller in 1699. The circular medal depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, and her son Cupid, who is bestowing two crowns. Venus is standing to the right of Cupid, who is flying above her, and both figures are depicted in relief. The inscription on the edge of the medal reads "DVPLICEM CYTHEREA CORONAM DONAT", which translates to "Venus bestows a double crown." This piece is a fine example of the medallic art of the late 17th century.
