Sallet thinks that the date 1475 on the Berlin specimen,
though it may not have been put on contemporaneously, is
yet the correct date for the event depicted, i. e. the reception
of the faithful by the Pope on the occasion of the Jubilee
of 1475. It is, however, unlikely that Gambello was working
in Rome so early as that year; Foville suggests that the
piece was made during the understanding between the Pope
and Venice in 1482.

The titles borne by Bellini were granted by Frederick III
(see his medal of the Sultan, p. 113, no. 432); the decoration
is doubtless a badge of the rank given him. The medal, to
judge from Gentile’s apparent age, need not have been
made much before 1500, when he would be 70 years old.
Habich, thinking that the medallist followed the Chantilly
drawing by Vettor Belliniano, which is dated 1505, would
place the medal about the same time; but the resemblance
between the two seems to me to be superficial. In the
couplet on the reverse the artist claims to have equalled
and surpassed nature in her endowment of Gentile. Had
he merely copied a drawing, he would hardly have made
this claim.
