Italian Renaissance medal in the Roman Style. 16th century. AR 19mm (4.35 g). [L?]CAESAR, bare head right / A•D•N•M•, eagle standing left. Attwood -. VF, toned.
The portrait does not resemble Caesar, nor really any other emperor. It is likely meant to represent an Italian renaissance prince in the guise of a Roman noble. With no other significant characteristics or legends, other than the cryptic ADNM, it seems unlikely the figure can be identified.
