Half Angel: Angel Slaying a Dragon (obverse); Ship with Shield of Arms (reverse)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The coin on the left shows a figure with wings, likely an angel, holding a spear, standing over a creature with a long tail and legs, likely a dragon. The angel appears to have long hair and is wearing a robe. The coin on the right shows a shield with a cross in the center and a ship below it. The ship has sails and appears to be on waves. Both coins are gold-colored and have text around the edges. They are displayed on a gray background.
