The English Monarchs are also important precedents for medal making in 18th- and 19th-century Britain, examples of which are also found in Museum's collection.

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. Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre was a celebrated humanist and teacher whom the marquess of Mantua, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, engaged to educate his children. Ludovico Gonzaga, a former student, probably commissioned the medal to honor his beloved teacher around the time of Vittorinos death.On the medals reverse is a bird feeding its young.
