John Hull

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver coin with a tree in the center, surrounded by a circle of small dots. The letters "MASSE" at top and "TS" on the right are visible. The letters are arranged in a semicircle on the coin, and there are more letters on the bottom but they are not legible. The coin appears to have some wear and tear, with scratches and marks on its surface. The coin is set against a plain gray background. Title: Shilling. Artist: John Hull.
