Lot description
Reference: Raczyński 217, Hutten-Czapski 2522 (R4)

Medal cast in Austria to commemorate the creation of the Antithetical League in 1684.

Probably a later casting, as evidenced, among other things, by its smaller diameter (the piece in Czapski's collection, in bronze, was 81 mm in diameter). Casting quality not the highest, background chiseled, drawing engraved in places.

Of unknown authorship.

Rare.

Silver, diameter 77-78 mm, weight 280.4 g .

Obverse: busts of Pope Innocent XI, Emperor Leopold II, King John III Sobieski and Duke of Venice Marcus Giustiniani to the right. In the rim: INNOC[entius] XI PONT[ifex]; LEOP[oldus] I IMP[erator]; JOA[nnes] III REX PO[loniae]; M[arcus] A[ntonius] JUS[tiniani] VE[netorum] DUX.

Reverse: double-headed Austrian eagle under a cross emerging from the clouds; in the rim on the ribbon the sentence: UNIVIT PALMAMQUE DEDIT (He united and gave victory).
