The image shows a round, metallic coin with a profile relief sculpture of a woman's bust. The woman has her hair styled up, looking to the right with detailed features like a prominent nose and slightly open lips. The coin's surface is predominantly golden brown. The edges have a repeated milling pattern. There is an engraved inscription surrounding the woman's profile and a small emblem or symbol to the left. The coin reflects intricate craftsmanship and provides a dimensional appearance despite being flat.
