Inscription [reverse]

Pier Paolo Galeotti

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round, weathered coin with an embossed profile of a male figure at its center. The coin is made of metal, displaying a golden-brown color with areas of dark green oxidation. Faded inscriptions along the edge include the name "ANTONINUS." The small sculpture-like relief on the coin resembles an ancient artifact.
