Broken Laurel Tree with Leafy Branch [reverse]

Follower of Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a bronze coin with an embossed design. The coin features a central image of a tree stump with a branch growing on the left and a broken branch extending to the right. Above the stump, there is an eight-pointed star symbol. The Latin inscription "OBSTANTE GENIO" encircles the tree and star, with the words separated by small star symbols. The material of the coin shows signs of age and oxidation, giving it a dark, weathered patina. The details are rendered with prominence, highlighting the contrast between the raised design and the background surface.
