Arms and Inscription [reverse]

German 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a silver coin-like object with intricate designs. The coin features an elaborate coat of arms in the center, with detailed scrollwork and a helmet with a decorative plume above it. The outer edge of the coin is inscribed with text in an old script. The surface of the coin has a slightly worn texture, giving it an antiquated appearance. The photograph captures the intricacy of the carvings and the reflective metallic sheen of the coin against a plain black background.
