1 work

This is a photograph of a gold coin. The coin features a profile portrait of a figure wearing a hat adorned with a design or insignia. The figure has a determined, serious expression with detailed facial features including a sharp nose and distinct lips. The design on the coin also includes an elaborately patterned collar or clothing extending from the figure’s neck. An inscription in a stylized serif font wraps around the edge of the coin. The surface of the coin appears textured and worn in places, suggesting historical significance.
