Ancient, British and World Coins and Historical Medals

Italy, Isotta de’ Rimini, a modern cast bronze medal after the antique by M. de’ Pasti dated 1446, bust right, reverse elephant, 32mm (cf. BDM IV, 405); Caecilia de Gonzaga, a modern silver medal after the antique by A. Pisanello, 1447, bust left, reverse standing figure and bull, 23mm (cf. BDM IV, 571) [2]. Very fine and better (£50-100)

Believed to have been made in the late 1940s, perhaps on the 500th anniversary of the originals. First only illustrated.
