"Fortune with a Veil [reverse]" is a small bronze medal created by Valentin Maler in 1584. The medal depicts the Roman goddess Fortuna standing on a rocky base, her right hand raised and holding a crescent moon. The inscription "FORTVNA FAVET FORTIVS" is visible around the edge of the medal, meaning "Fortune favors the bold." This piece is a prime example of Renaissance medallic art and showcases the skilled craftsmanship of Maler.
