The Porta Pia, Rome [reverse]

Giovan Federico Bonzagni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round medallion sculpture with a relief of an architectural structure featuring a central arched entrance flanked by two cylindrical towers. The design is intricately detailed with small windows and decorative elements above the entrance. The material appears to be metal, with a shiny golden-brown color and reflective surface. The sculpture is small, resembling a coin, and has the words "PORTA PIA ROMA" embossed around the edge. The outer edge is decorated with a rope-like border.
