This bronze medal depicts the bust of Nicolo Palmieri on the obverse.
It is made by Andrea Guacialoti in Italy in ca. 1470.
Guacialoti was the son of Filippo, of a Florentine family domiciled at Prato. He entered at some time the household of Niccolo Palmieri, Bishop of Orte. He became a papal scriptor, and canon of Prato and priest of Ajolo (Iolo) near that city. He was well known as a bronze founder. His medals, made on his own account, seem all to have been executed at Rome.
