National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicted on the coin's surface is a bust of a woman facing left, wearing an ornate dress and a necklace. Her hair is styled elaborately with numerous curls and ribbons. The sculpture is made of a metallic material, appearing bronze or brass with a patina giving it an aged look. The bust is in high relief, emphasizing details of her face, attire, and hair. Surrounding the bust is an inscription that reads "CLEMENTINA·M·BRITAN·FRET·HIB·REGINA." This appears to be a commemorative or decorative medal.
