Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a circular, flat coin or token made of a dark-colored metal, possibly silver or copper. The coin has a raised edge around its circumference. The surface is divided into four sections by a cross-like design, with the four sections resembling a four-leaf clover. The sections are recessed and appear to be incuse. The coin exhibits signs of wear and tear, such as scratches and reddish-brown spots. The background of the image is a light gray color. The coin appears to be old and worn.
