This is a photograph of a gold medallion featuring an embossed profile of a bearded man wearing a decorative breastplate and a laurel wreath on his head, facing to the right. Surrounding the profile image is an inscription in Latin that reads "HENRICVS II GALLIARVM REX INVICTISS". The medallion has a raised, beaded edge detailing and appears to be intricately crafted with fine attention to the details in the armor and facial features. The gold color of the medallion gives it a rich, historic appearance.
