This 15th-century bronze medal, created by Andrea Guacialoti, depicts the Borgia coat of arms with a papal tiara. The reverse of the medal features the inscription "ALIFONSVS SPANIENSIS GLOR[IA]" referencing the Spanish Pope Alexander VI. This small medal was a common form of Renaissance art, and its intricate details showcase the craftsmanship of Guacialoti. The design exemplifies the visual language of the time, combining heraldic symbols with classical elements. The small size of this medal makes it a testament to the skill of the Renaissance medallist.
