This is a detailed engraving of a medal by French artist Achille Collas, created sometime between 1804 and 1859. The medal depicts a profile portrait of Henry IV of France, surrounded by the inscription "HENRICVS IV D.G. REX FRANCO-RUM". Collas is best known for his meticulous engravings, and this work showcases his ability to render the intricate details of the medal's design. The work is a good example of the 19th-century interest in historical figures, especially those related to France.
