Stad Augsburg 1629

This silver medal, created by Sebastian Dadler in 1629, depicts a detailed view of the city of Augsburg, Germany. The obverse shows a panoramic scene of the city with its numerous buildings and towers, while the reverse features a standing figure, likely a saint, holding a dove and a branch, representing peace and unity. This medal is an example of 17th-century medallic art, a genre that combined portraiture, symbolism, and historical documentation in a small format. It serves as a reminder of Augsburg's importance in the Holy Roman Empire and its flourishing cityscape during this period.
