Description reverse

The right facing, half-length portrait of King Wladislaw the Short by Marcello Bacciarelli, which served as the model for the medal by Jan Filip Holzhaeusser. His features were most likely modelled on his tomb in the Wawel cathedral. The king is wearing a helmet with chain mail and a tassel as well as rich Reiter armour although it was anachronous. Below bust I.P.H.F., VLADISLAUS LOCTICUS SEU CUBITALIS around
