Hans Daucher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular medal or coin with a raised design. The central subject is a stylized image of a barred gate or grille made of square and rectangular sections. Above the grille is a detailed rendering of a crown among laurel branches. The sculpture is made of a metallic material, likely bronze, giving it a smooth, reflective bronze color. The inscription "SECVRITAS ALTERA" encircles the upper half of the piece.
