Isotta degli Atti of Rimini, d. 1470 1446 Medalist: Matteo de' Pasti Italian Obverse: Following her name, in the part of the inscription that is often occupied by a sitters title, Isotta is said to have ornamented all Italy by her beauty and virtue, two concepts that were considered strictly interrelated. Isotta was the mistress of the Lord of Rimini. Most unusually, they went on to marry. This medal sought to legitimize their union then and forever.Reverse: Both the meaning of the gloriously observed elephant and the choice of date - 1446 - are somewhat mysterious, given that the medal was made some years afterwards.
