Medal: Bartolomeo Colleoni. Artist: Marco Guidizani (Italian, active 1454-62). Dimensions: Diam. 8 cm, wt. 138.62 g.. Date: model 1455 or later (possibly cast 19th century).
A portrait of Bartolomeo Colleoni (1400 - 1476), a celebrated Venetian
condottiere is on the obverse, and a nude man
sitting on a cuirass and holding a plumb line is on the
reverse. A terminus post quem for this medal is given by
Colleoni's appointment as commander of the Venetian
forces in 1455; this specimen is a late aftercast, possibly
from the nineteenth century.
