On the reverse are fiveputti bearing a shield on which rest a globe, two cornucopias,and an eagle with the Montefeltro arms. Themedal commemorates Federigos election as knight ofthe Garter in 1474. The medal has been attributed toPietro Torrigiani (1472 - 1528) on account of similaritieswith the bronze portrait medallion of Sir Thomas Lovellin Westminster Abbey, London. However, the poorGothic lettering suggests an artist who was not familiarwith this kind of script and argues against Torrigianisinvolvement.
