Marx Rechlinger, died 1532, Patrician of Nuremberg 

This silver medal, created by Matthes Gebel in the 16th century, depicts Marx Rechlinger, a prominent patrician of Nuremberg. The medal features a profile portrait of Rechlinger in high relief, wearing a cap and elaborate clothing. The inscription around the edge of the medal, likely in Latin, would have been meant to identify the sitter and perhaps commemorate a special occasion. This type of commemorative medal was popular during the Renaissance and was often used to honor notable figures or celebrate important events.
