The sculpture depicted is a detailed relief engraving on a coin or medallion. The primary subject features an ornate shield at the center showcasing a tree with branching leaves. Above the shield are two crossed keys, and just above these, a papal tiara is present. The sculpture is of a metallic composition, likely bronze or a similar alloy, giving it a dark brown appearance with a highlighted sheen where the engraving is more pronounced. The outer edge of the coin contains the engraved text “BIBLICAE.” The sculpture appears flat and rounded, akin to a large coin, offering an intricate and historical aesthetic visible across its surface.
