<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8173767, member: 110350"]I think it would be a mistake to conclude that realistic numismatic portraiture in Italy began with the coins you mention, minted in the 1460s, without taking into account the famous medallic portaiture of the great Renaissance artist and medallist Antonio Pisanello, beginning in the 1430s.
