Individual type · partial
Portrait medal of Adolph Occo III, Adolph Occo III is held by University of Cyprus. Museum description: Like his father, Adolph Occo III practised medicine in Augsburg and had a medal portrait with many Greek elements.
On the obverse his portrait is accompanied by an inscription identifying him as 'Adolf's son, doctor in the 3rd generation, 28 years old'. On the reverse, the Greek text around the edge is a quotation from Wisdom of Sol 7:6 ("For there is but one way in and one way out for everyone"), while the inscription on the cube-shaped table reproduces Revelation 2:10 ("Be faithful until death"). The medal is an example of how the Greek language was used to express religious identity and affiliation.
The museum record gives material recorded as Lead. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
