Twelve medallions bearing effigies of outstanding figures in modern and contemporary Portuguese history of medicine were carved in marble by José Moreira Rato, to decorate the façade of the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica in Lisbon, inaugurated in April 1906. When this school was closed, the medallions were transferred to the new Medical School in the University City of Lisbon, which opened in 1954. Kept partially obscure, the medallions eventually lost part of their artistic and ornamental brilliancy and three of them became absolutely unidentifiable due to various adversities. In 1988-89, the Medical School decided to restore a medallion depicting Alfonso Rodrigues de Guevara and placed it in the hall of its Aula Magna. The process of re-identification and restoring these works of art had begun. In 1995, all the medallions were conclusively identified, which was a crucial step towards their full restoration and historical and artistic revalorization.
十二枚刻有葡萄牙近现代医学史上杰出人物肖像的奖章由若泽·莫雷拉·拉托用大理石雕刻而成，用于装饰1906年4月落成的里斯本医学外科学校的正面。这所学校关闭后，奖章被转移到1954年启用的里斯本大学城新医学院。由于部分奖章一直处于相对隐蔽的状态，它们最终失去了部分艺术和装饰光彩，其中三枚因各种变故变得完全无法辨认。1988年至1989年，医学院决定修复一枚描绘阿方索·罗德里格斯·德·格瓦拉的奖章，并将其放置在大礼堂大厅。对这些艺术品的重新识别和修复工作由此开始。1995年，所有奖章都被最终确认，这是对它们进行全面修复以及恢复其历史和艺术价值的关键一步。
