Attributed to Vettor Gambello, called Camelio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture shown on the coin is of a seated figure holding an object. The figure's posture is classical or mythological, adorned with flowing garments. The coin is made of a copper-like material with a weathered, brownish appearance. The relief of the sculpture gives depth, standing out from the flat surface of the coin, surrounded by a dotted border pattern.
