This 1522 silver medal, created by German artist Hans (der Ältere) Kraft, depicts Frederik the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The front displays a profile portrait of Frederik, while the reverse features a cross with a Latin inscription. This small, delicate medal, measuring just 4.2 cm in diameter, is a fine example of the detailed craftsmanship and historical portraiture of the Renaissance era.
