This bronze medal, created in 1481 by Italian artist Andrea Guacialoti, depicts Alfonso II of Aragon, Duke of Calabria and King of Naples, in profile. The medal features a realistic portrait of the king, wearing a cap with a plume, and showcases the artist's skill in capturing detail. The inscription around the edge identifies Alfonso II as "ALFONSVS FERD" (Alfonso Ferdinand) and "DVX CALABRIE" (Duke of Calabria), highlighting his royal lineage and titles. This Renaissance-era medal is a testament to the importance of portraiture in representing power and authority during that time.
