Inscription [reverse] c. 1543

This small, circular bronze medal, crafted by Friedrich Hagenauer around 1543, showcases the inscription "P[ater] S[anctissimus] S[u]per[ius] E[s]to D[eus] N[oster] A[men]" This inscription, meaning "Most holy Father, God our Father be above" is a testament to the religious fervor and devotion of the time period. The medal's small size and simple design make it an intimate and personal object, likely intended for private contemplation. The aged patina and subtle wear on the surface lend an air of history and reverence to this intriguing artifact.
