ITALY bronze medal for a descendant of Michelangelo 1731

DescriptionPictures were taken in different light conditions.The obverse legend is translated by Google as “Whom no age has equalled.” Filippo Buonarroti was a grand-nephew of Michelangelo. He was employed in the court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He was a scholar and wrote several book of antiquities, including old coins and medals.The word “exonumia” is used to describe all kinds of things that are “like” coins but are not coins. I wrote a blog post on that subject. Basic categories: 1. used like a coin but not issued by a national government, 2. looks like a coin but not made for spending, 3. other things that we are interested in.
