Filips de Schone, koning van Spanje 1505

This bronze medal, created by Jacques Jonghelinck in 1505, depicts Philip the Handsome, King of Spain. The medal's obverse features a bust portrait of the king, while the reverse portrays a female figure holding a staff and standing on a globe, symbolizing the world. This piece is a striking example of Renaissance-era medal making, a popular art form that celebrated individuals and events through small-scale, portable works. The medal's inscription on the obverse reads "PHILIPPUS DEI GRATIA REX" (Philip by the Grace of God, King).
