This bronze medal, created in 1549 by Leone Leoni, depicts Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. The medal showcases a highly detailed, three-dimensional portrait of Charles in profile, clad in armor and a laurel wreath. The inscription around the rim identifies him as "IMP. CAES. CAROLVS V." This Renaissance-era work of art is an example of portrait medal, a genre popular during the period and serves as a historical record of this powerful figure.
