Fame, Abundance, Victory [reverse]

Etienne Delaune

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a coin with a sculptural relief design depicting a dynamic scene with multiple figures. The scene includes a chariot drawn by a horse, with a figure standing in the chariot and others seated nearby. A winged figure stands out among the characters. The coin features an inscription in Latin around its perimeter and is made of metallic bronze or a similar alloy, displaying an earthy brown color with a slightly aged patina. The sculptural details show the characters in profile, wearing classical attire and posed in a way that suggests movement and narrative typical of historical coins.
