NEIDHART, JOHANN (Germ.). Medallist and Coin-engraver, born at Nuremberg, and in the service of the Dukes of Würtemberg at the Mint of Oels, from 1672 to 1707. He also worked for the Imperial Mint of Brieg, and for the Episcopal Mint of Neisse. By him are various medals, amongst others a Scho. 1 Prize Medal of the city of Breslau, 1703, and commemorative medals of the Siege of Belgrade, 1688, signed I. N., and Peace of Passarowitz, 1718 (executed in conjunction with Martin Brunner). Amnion calls his work poor, but a Portrait-medal of Christian I. and Christiana of Saxe-Merseburg (illustrated) exhibits undoubted skill.
