This 1707 commemorative medal, created by German medalist Johann Christian Koch, depicts Johann Wilhelm, Duke of Saxe-Gotha, in profile. The medal, only 5.6 cm in diameter, commemorates the Duke’s death during the Siege of Toulon. The inscription on the back recounts the Duke’s life and death, highlighting his role in military and political events. This miniature work is a testament to the artistry and historical significance of medals, often used as a form of remembrance or propaganda in the 18th century.
