He was also the inventor of the commemorative portrait medal. Inspired by Roman coins, with their portraits of rulers and allegorical representations on the reverse, the medals commemorated individuals or events and functioned as gifts and mementoes. This medal -- the first to portray a woman - depicts Cecilia Gonzaga, the beautiful and learned daughter of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua. Cecilia was accomplished classical scholar and a pupil in the school founded by Vittorino da Feltre in Mantua. Refusing marriage, she became a Clarissan nun in 1445, just before this medal was produced. Pisanello chose to represent her here in secular court dress, suM.E.C.F. de Vries, Medal on the death of King William II, death medal penning footage copper, left-wended bust King William II, WILLEM II KING - THE NETHERLANDS (legend) signed royal house Oranjehuis Orange king King Willem II Willem IIJean-Baptiste-Henry Lacordaire, in religion Father Henri-Dominique Lacordaire (1802-1861), Religious, preacher, journalist and French politician, 1854 Daniel Jean-Baptiste Dupuis (1849-1899).

By 1723, eight years after the kings death, the so-called medallic history of Louis XIV (Histoire métallique du Roy) comprised nine hundred medals including variants. This medal commemorates the Battle of Saint Gotthard of 1664 in which Frances decisive role on behalf of the German speaking Austrian empire assured the defeat of the Ottoman army and prevented the Turkish invasion of Europe. Louis XIV is portrayed in armor. On the medals reverse, a personification of Victory tramples the scattered military arms and banners of the Turkish forces that are embellished with the crescent moon, symbol of the Ottoman Empire.
