Overlijden van Leopold I, Duits keizer 1705

This small, silver medal, created in 1705 by Georg Hautsch, commemorates the death of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of the deceased emperor, while the reverse features an allegorical depiction of a winged figure riding a griffin, a symbol of power and authority. This intricate medal, measuring just 4.5 cm in diameter, is a fine example of 18th-century commemorative art.
