On the reverse, a scene from the battle is seen with a myriad of details, the spires of Leipzig also in the background and an angel wielding a flaming sword hovering over the battlefield. A most splendid example of baroque medal work from one of, if not the finest medalist of the time. Estimate: €4,000 - €6,000. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
