The sculpture is a detailed portrait on a coin featuring a profile view of a man's bust facing left. The man appears to be of noble status, as indicated by his intricately designed clothing, including a high ruffled collar and armor with ornate patterns. The subject has short, wavy hair and a neatly trimmed beard. The sculpture is cast in a metallic material that has a bronze appearance, with a worn and patinated surface indicating age. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription, likely comprising the name and titles associated with the individual depicted. The circular coin is lined with a beaded border.
