Medal

Pierre Simon Benj. Duvivier

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The medal features a profile portrait of a man with a braid of hair. The man has short hair on the top of his head and a long braid on the back. The braid hangs down the left side of his neck. He has a slight double chin. The man is looking to the right. The medal's surface is dark gray and slightly textured. The medal's edge is raised. There are inscriptions around the edge of the medal's surface in a language that appears to be Latin, and a phrase at the bottom that reads "COMITIA AMERICANA". The medal appears to be made of a dark-colored metal. The background of the image is light gray.
