Comments

This medal was a restrike of the small silver medal made by Adzer (Galster 451, check it here: https://www.danskmoent.dk/galster/med257.htm). While the reverse is the same (with the adding of Gianelli initials) the obverse is totally different.
Fine Arts Academy prize medals were changed in 1798, both gold and silver ones
