This 1598 gold medal by Conrad Bloc, a prominent medalist of the late 16th century, depicts King Henry IV of France. The obverse features a highly detailed portrait of the king in profile, showcasing his beard and elaborate, jeweled collar. The inscription around the rim identifies him as King of France and Navarre. This medal, a celebration of royal power and prestige, is a fine example of Renaissance-era medallic art.
