Medal Kristina 17th Century A Very Modest And Humble Piece.

Love those long rays on the sun!

Very cool!

Gorgeous medal, Moniker - it is a beauty with a beauty!

Part of the REGINA CHRISTINA series. The originals were cast bronze by Massimiliano Soldani Benzi, But struck ones are contemporary.

Struck in Rome. The difficulty with dating them is that the Hamerani kept the dies had held the right to strike bronze medals for sale. Hard to tell originals apart from restrikes.
It is not as bad as with the medals from Paris. Those were restruck with original dies in whatever metal a buyer asked for. The papal mint restricted restrikes to bronze versions. Silver and gold roman medals form the pala mint must be from the original date.

The design is beautiful. That kind of sun representation was very popular starting in the second half of the sixteen-hundreds.
Not very humble. That sun was Christina trying to outshine Louis.

I would release it from the plastic.

Thank you very interesting information, there are many medals of Christina, she loved to have them made.
yes I was trying to be a little bit ironic about her bragging :)

i would love to set her free, but then the Bruun provenence might be lost
