Royal Emblem [reverse] 1598

This small, gold medal, crafted by Conrad Bloc in 1598, features a reverse design with the inscription "DVO PROTECTGIT VNVVS" (Latin for "Two Protect One"). The central image depicts two crossed keys and a sword with a laurel branch, symbolizing the protection of the church and the power of the state. The design highlights a common theme in 16th-century art, representing the strong alliance between religious and secular authority. The small size of the medal, likely intended for personal use, indicates its significance as a devotional object or a token of allegiance.
