Milanese 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a round, copper-toned medallion or coin featuring a profile relief of a man with a mustache and a hat, facing right. The surface of the medallion appears aged with tarnishing or oxidation. Around the edge of the medallion, there is engraved text in Latin - "NEC CEDIT UMBRA SOLI." The figure depicted wears historical garments, including a robe and a hat. The details suggest classical or Renaissance influence. The medallion shows wear, possibly due to age or intentional design. A small hole is visible at the bottom, potentially for attachment or display purposes.
