Fame Crowning the Queen before an Altar [reverse]

Johann Lorenz Natter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular relief sculpture on a coin or medallion. It features a female figure in elegant robes holding a scepter, with a winged male figure above her holding a crown. To the right is a rectangular altar with flames and a covered sphere. The color scheme is silver, and Latin inscriptions surround the perimeter. The relief and attire suggest a neoclassical style.
