This commemorative medal, created by Leopold Wiener in 1858, depicts the marriage of King Pedro V and Queen Stephanie of Portugal. The medal is an example of the medallic art form, and features the likenesses of the royal couple in profile, with the inscription surrounding them indicating their titles and realms. The inscription reads, "D. Pedro V Rei De Portugal E Dos Algarves" and "D. Stephania Rainha De Portugal E Dos Algarves." This medal was likely produced to celebrate the wedding of the monarchs, signifying their union and the continuation of the Portuguese Royal House.
