The coin, titled "Coin (Ducaton)" and attributed to an unspecified artist, is a gold-colored circular object. The coin features a figure in the center, standing and holding a spear or similar object in one hand and what appears to be a winged object in the other. The figure is wearing a helmet on its head. There is text around the edge of the coin, though it is not clearly legible. The background of the image is plain white.
