Cardinal Jules Mazarin, 1602-1661, Prime Minister of France 1643 [obverse]
The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring the profile of a cardinal, labeled as "IVLIVS CARDINALIS MAZARINVS." The cardinal is depicted wearing a cap and ornate robe, with detailed curly hair visible beneath the cap. The medallion seems to be made of copper or bronze, giving it a brownish hue with areas of patina. The sculpture shows a raised relief of the cardinal's features slightly projecting from the flat surface of the medallion.
