This commemorative medal, created in 1526 by an anonymous artist, honors the memory of Louis II, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and his wife, Maria of Hungary. The medal depicts the couple's profiles on one side and a scene of the Battle of Mohacs, where Louis II lost his life, on the other. The inscription on the back, in Latin, describes the king's bravery and the tragic circumstances of his death.
