17th century Austrian Holy Roman Empire Medal "Half body of Johann Battista Werda"
This medal was made for John Baptiste Verda, Count of Verdenberg. This medal is replicated through electroplating, lead casting, welding, and silver plating. The front displays a bust of the Count with the words "IO: BAP: FHV. VERDENBERGH: ZG 1630" written on it. On the back, a snake ring surrounds a hexagonal star, suspended above a patch of grass. It is currently housed in the State Museum of Lower Austria.
