The obverse of this medal shows Queen Mary I of England with a legend. The sculptor, gem-engraver and medallist Jacopo Nizzola Trezzo (b. Milan ca. 1515 - d. Madrid 1589) served Cosimo II de' Medici as gem-cutter. His earliest medal is dated 1550. Later he worked for Philip II of Spain in the Netherlands (1555-1559) and in Madrid (1559-death). He is highly respected as a gem engraver and his medals were modelled with great esteem and delicacy of detail. Mary Tudor (1516-1558) was the eldest daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, his first wife. As Queen Mary I of England she reigned form 1553 until 1558. In those years Mary restored Roman Catholicism after the Protestant reign of her half-brother, exectuting may Protestants dissenters, what gave her the byname ‘Bloody Mary’.
