National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an old coin. The coin is round and made of metal, with intricate engravings on its surface. At the top is a shield emblem with a central circular pattern, flanked by two ornate designs. Below the central motif, there are two more shield-like designs, each featuring its own symbol; the left one has a star design and the right one has a book. Around the perimeter of the coin is an inscription that includes the year "1645" and a name. The engravings show fine craftsmanship typical of the period, blending artistry with historical significance.
