This 17th century medal, created by Giovanni Martino Hamerani, depicts Pope Innocent XII in profile, wearing the papal tiara and a richly ornamented stole. The inscription on the medal reads "INNOC. XII. PONT. MAX. AN. I," which translates to "Innocent XII, Supreme Pontiff, in the first year of his pontificate." The medal is a fine example of Renaissance portraiture, capturing the likeness of the Pope with great detail and precision.
