Inscription [reverse]

Felice Antonio Casone

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an ancient coin. The coin features a circular design with a raised edge and an interior border of intricate rope-like detail. The surface of the coin shows weathering and patina. The central portion of the coin contains an inscription in Latin, with the text meticulously engraved using capital letters that appear in a block-like formation. At the top edge, there is a small hole. At the bottom of the coin, there is a decorative motif. The coin's materials and the style of inscription suggest a historical or commemorative purpose.
