National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a detailed relief engraving of a man's bust on a coin. The man is depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat and an elaborately detailed lace collar. The coin appears to be metallic with a dull, silvery patina. The man has a mustache and a goatee, and there is intricate detailing on his hair and facial features. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription on the edge of the coin. The image shows the man in a frontal view with a slightly turned head.
