This medal of cast lead is made by the Master of the Blaurer medal, in 1533 in Germany. Habich attributed a group of Augsburg medals to this Master, and postulated that he was Hans Mair (active in Augsburg from 1537). He also noted that the style was reminiscent of Hans Kels the Younger.
It represents the bust of Johann Hanold the Elder of Augsburg (1479-1540), who was a strong supporter of Lutheranism. The Swabian Reformer Ambrosius Blaurer was preacher of St. Moritz in Augsburg, where Hanold's tomb was situated.
The boxwood model of this medal (now in Staatliche Museen Berlin-Dahlem, inv. 8194) has the arms of Honold vom Luchs on the reverse.
