Dood van Ulrich Zwingli 1725

This small, silver medal, created by Swiss medalist Jean Dassier in 1725, commemorates the death of Ulrich Zwingli, a key figure in the Swiss Reformation. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of Zwingli, while the reverse features an inscription in Latin that translates to "Ulrich Zwingli, theologian, pastor, a man most worthy of renown. He was born at Wildhaus in 1484, died at Kappel in 1531, a year after his death." This medal is a testament to Zwingli's legacy as a religious reformer and a champion of Protestant beliefs.
