This silver medal from 1543 features a portrait of two German rulers: Johan Frederik de Grootmoedige, elector of Saxony and Filips de Grootmoedige, landgrave of Hesse. The medal, which is only 5.2 centimeters in diameter, shows the two rulers in profile, with their names and titles inscribed around the edges. The inscription on the medal refers to both rulers as "the Magnanimous," a title that reflects their reputation as just and benevolent rulers. This medal is a fine example of the commemorative art of the Renaissance.
