National Gallery of Art

The sculpture on the coin features two figures, one male and one female, shaking hands. Both figures are dressed in classical attire similar to ancient Roman or Greek clothing. The female figure on the left has her hair tied back and stands barefoot, while the male figure on the right wears a crown and holds a branch in his left hand. An animal resembling a goose is to the left of the female figure. The material of the sculpture appears to be metallic, possibly bronze, with an aged, silvery finish. The figures and scene are presented in relief on the coin's surface, encircled by a border and inscriptions.
