Jakob Stampfer
Illustration — Stampfer's depiction of the Swiss cross on the reverse of the Patenpfennig of 1547. Hans Jakob Stampfer (1505/6 – 2 July 1579) was a gold smith and medalist of Zürich in the age of Bullinger (antistes 1531–1575). He was the son of gold smith Hans Ulrich Stampfer and of Regula Funk and learned the same trade both from his father and as wandering journeyman in Germany, probably including Augsburg (Meyer 1871 mentions a strong influence by German medalist Friedrich Hagenauer, who was in Augsburg during 1526–1532).
