The sculpture is a coin depicting the profile of a man facing to the right. The figure has long hair and wears an elaborate garment with detailed collar. The coin is made of coppery material, giving it a reddish-brown hue with a slightly aged appearance. There is an inscription around the portrait in an older script, encircling the coin's border. "1471" is inscribed at the bottom. The coin is intricately detailed with raised lettering and a portrait, showing signs of wear consistent with age.
