  Abstract:  Influences of Sculpture in Medal Study. 17th – 18th Centuries. The impact of major plastic creations of Baroque art influences achievements in the field. The most common sculptural references that appear in medal study generally have load-bearing role, shrines or pedestals on which are usually placed imperial symbols. From the medal study repertoire are not missing the heroic bust statues, particularly conclusive example is the series of medals issued as a consequence to military successes achieved in the era of Leopold I. Another group of frequent sculptural representation is sculptural portraits. Powerful sculptural influences also suffer the medals engraved with images depicting allegorical chariots celebrating military triumphs. Another important chapter of the influence of sculpture on medal study are the sculptural monuments, dominated by obelisks and also by the image of unique funeral monuments, highly in vogue in the Baroque era, sarcophagi.
