This silver medal, created by Heinrich Peter Grosskurt in 1708, commemorates Georg Ludwig, the Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg, being admitted to the Electoral College in Regensburg. The obverse of the medal depicts Georg Ludwig on horseback, while the reverse shows an altar with a wreath, symbolizing his elevation. The inscription, "IN INTRODUCT. IN COLL. ELECT. EUR. STAUDENTE F.F. D. GEORG. LUD. RATISBONAE VIII. SEPT. MDCCVIII," details the event and its date. This small but detailed piece of art is a testament to the historical significance of this event and provides insight into the practices of medal making during the Baroque period.
