Costanzo Riding in the Country [reverse]

Gianfrancesco Enzola

National Gallery of Art

The relief on the circular medal or coin shows a figure in armor riding a rearing horse. The figure wears a plumed helmet. A dog runs in the foreground. The background includes hills, trees, and a castle. The image is bordered by text in mixed characters. The material seems metallic, likely silver, and appears tarnished.
