The sculpture depicts a profile portrait of a man with straight, chin-length hair on a circular medallion or coin made from a metallic material with a dark, aged patina. The man's features, such as his nose and expression, are detailed, forming a relief effect. Surrounding the profile is an inscription in a circular border, enhancing the medallion's design.
