Andrea Spinelli

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an ancient coin. The coin shows two robed figures facing each other and extending their right hands. The coin is circular and has inscriptions along the outer edge, which appear to be in Latin. The words "CONCORD" and "SPIN" can be discerned among the inscriptions. The coin has a rich patina, ranging from bronze to darker hues. The craftsmanship of the figures and the decorative elements is detailed and precise.
