Religious medals of this type were produced in the early 19th century within several German states, particularly in Berlin, and were commonly presented as confirmation gifts. The iconography reflects widespread Protestant devotional themes of the period, linking the act of confirmation with promises of faithfulness and spiritual reward. The work of Daniel Friedrich Loos represents one of the most recognizable medallic traditions in German territories of the era, corresponding today to regions of modern Germany and neighboring Central European states.
