philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 12:20 pm Got it. 1535 bronze medallion of Elector Johann Friedrich of Saxony, by medallist Hans Reinhardt. http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?a...9&lot=370259 And that reverse is the most ridiculously ornate coat of arms I've ever seen! And welcome, martino! Edited by philadelphian 09/16/2013 12:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 12:05 pm The legends seemed to be in Latin. On the side with the portrait, starting at the top, is likely where the name of the person depicted would read. Looking closely, it seemed to start with IOANNIS. I started searching from there.
