In occasion of his 30th anniversary of working at the University of Vienna friends and students dedicated a medal to Wilhelm von Hartel made by the local engraver Anton Scharff.
Through Victor von Renner  we know that the scene on the revers cites paintings of the Italian Renaissance painter Melozzo da Forlì picturing the passing down of knowledge.
In the background the engraver Anton Scharff placed a panorama of Vienna thus combining his work in education and for the policy of education with the city where his merits were accomplished.
Toghether with this medal Hartel received a marble bust made by Georg Leisek.
