This bronze medal, created by the Florentine artist Bertoldo di Giovanni between 1468 and 1469, portrays Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, in profile. The medal features a detailed depiction of Frederick's face and his elaborate headwear, capturing a realistic likeness. The inscription around the edge identifies the subject as "Frederick III, Always Augustus," highlighting his imperial status. This work is a prime example of the artistic innovation of the Italian Renaissance, and specifically the medallic art of the 15th century.
