Knife Coin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Knife Coin, a metal object with a ring at one end, likely a knife or dagger. The object is long and narrow, with a curved blade that tapers to a point at the end. The blade has a dark, weathered appearance with visible signs of aging or wear, exhibiting shades of gray, green, and brown. The blade's surface features a pattern etched into the metal. The handle is narrow and cylindrical, with three raised longitudinal ridges and made of the same dark-colored metal as the blade. A circular ring protrudes from the end of the handle. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
