This is a photograph of an old circular coin with detailed engraving. The coin features a design that includes a figure seated on a chariot, holding a vertical staff. Two bird-like figures are situated to the left of this seated figure. The outer edge of the coin is inscribed with text, possibly in Latin or an ancient language, forming a border around the perimeter. Below the main scene on the coin is a line of text marked with a date, 'MDLXVI'. The coin's surface shows a patina typical of aged metal.
