This bronze medal, created by Lodovico Coradino in 1472, depicts Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, Modena, and Reggio. The medal shows the Duke in profile, wearing a cap and elaborate collar, with the inscription "HERCVLES. DVX. FERRARIE. MODINE. ET. REGII" around the rim. Coradino's work exemplifies the Renaissance interest in portraiture and the celebration of rulers. This small but detailed piece is a testament to the artistic skill of the period and the importance of visual representation in 15th century Italy.
