Period

The obverse of the medal represents the Cathedral of Burgos and the reverse shows its interior. The engraver Jacques Wiener became famous for engraving important European buildings with a great attention to detail.
In 1845 he started engraving medals depicting the exterior and interior of monuments with a great attention to detail, something which hasn't previously been attempted. Then he made a series of medals representing important monuments of Europe, like cathedrals, churches and mosques as well as other civic Belgian buildings including for example all Belgian prisons and some town halls.
