József Reisner
József Reisner (1859–1929), also recorded as Josef Reisner, was a Hungarian medallist and engraver employed at the Körmöcbánya (Kremnica) Mint. He was born in Vienna in 1859 and died in Körmöcbánya in 1929. His work belongs to the medallic art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The Hungarian National Gallery holds his signed portrait and commemorative medals, including works depicting Béla Graenzenstein (1893), commemorating the breakthrough of the Nándor mining adit (1899), and honoring Miksa Reitzner (1907). The 1899 medal bears REISNER J. on its obverse and GERL K. on its reverse, documenting collaboration with Károly Gerl on a specific medal. Other works signed by Reisner survive from 1909.
Reisner's surviving work illustrates portrait engraving and commemorative medal production associated with the Royal Hungarian Mint. His identity and individual signed works are documented in museum catalogues.
