Inscription [reverse]

Joachim Deschler

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an inscribed coin. The coin features detailed text in a stylized script across its surface. The script appears to be ornate with flourishes and reads as a dense block of textual information. The coin is circular with a slightly raised rim that frames the inscribed text. The lighting in the photograph highlights the relief of the lettering, providing shadows that add dimension to the text. The coin's metallic surface gives it a reflective sheen, enhancing its three-dimensionality against the plain background.
