This silver medal, created by Philippe Roëttiers in 1716, commemorates the birth of Prince Leopold of Austria. The obverse features a profile portrait of the prince, while the reverse depicts a cherub holding a torch, symbolizing eternal life, and an inscription noting the prince's birth date. Roëttiers, a renowned medallist, was known for his detailed and expressive portraiture, a style evident in this small but significant work.
