This bronze medal, created by Bertoldo di Giovanni in 1469, depicts Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, in profile. The inscription surrounding the portrait identifies Frederick as "FREDERICVS TERTIVS AVGVS" ("Frederick the Third, Augustus"). The medal highlights the Florentine sculptor’s skill in rendering naturalistic detail and was likely intended to be a commemorative piece, reflecting the artistic and cultural trends of the Italian Renaissance. It is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
