This medal represents Jakob Muffel. The meaning of the inscription on the reverse is uncertain. Habich stated that the initials KS may be those to whom it refers. A version in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg has the inscription but lacks the initials KS, which undermines Habich's interpretation of the motto. A silver version in the Staatliche Münzsammlung in Munich also has an inverted reverse.\nGebel (ca. 1500-1574) who lived in Nuremberg was considered the most important medallist of his time. Also today he is considered as the most prolific medallist in Nuremberg of the Renaissance period. Habich ascribes 350 medals to him. They are almost all two-sided and thinly cast in silver, lead or bronze. He was friend of Albrecht Dürer and struck a famous medal of him in 1527. It shows Dürer with short hair. This medal portrait should become the definite portrait of Dürer in an advanced age for future generations.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Gebel, Matthes","id":"A11974"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"lead","id":"AAT11022"}],"techniques":[{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Lead","categories":[{"text":"Coins & Medals","id":"THES48974"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2006AF5181","2006AF5182"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES395566"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Medal jakob muffel of Nuremberg/arms","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Germany","id":"x28873"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1532","earliest":"1532-01-01","latest":"1532-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"3.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"16.6","unit":"g","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Provenance: Tross. 140 medals and reliefs were purchased from M.
