Maria Magdalena of Austria (1589-1631) was the youngest daughter of Karl II, Archduke of Inner Austria, and his wife Maria Anna of Bavaria. She married Cosimo II de' Medici (1590-1621) in 1608, and together they would have eight children. Cosimo II succeeded his father to become Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1609 until his passing. His mother, Christina of Lorraine, and Maria Magdalena would then act as regents for the new grand duke, the ten-year-old Ferdinando II. Pollard notes that Maria Magdalena was portrayed in similar court dress and with the same heavy necklace in an anonymous painting from her time as a widow. This medal was created during Dupré's visit to Florence in 1613, where he also made large uniface portrait medals of Cosimo II de' Medici, Christina of Lorraine, and Cosimo's brother Francesco.
