Period

Bronze medal showing on the obverse the exterior of the Cathedral of St Stephen, Vienna and on the reverse the interior of the same in fine small-scale detail. This medal representing the exterior and interior of the St. Stephen Cathedral in Vienna is made by Jacques Wiener in ca. 1850-1862.
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. The first series was a group of ten medals depicting famous Belgian churches. 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.
