This is a photograph of a decorative coin or medallion. The object features intricate relief work and a central scene with two robed figures flanking a central emblem; one figure is crowned and seated with a child, while the other is leaning forward on one arm. An eye within a triangle and rays of light are depicted above them. An inscription in Latin surrounds the central scene, and beneath the figures is an architectural motif. The medallion is encircled by additional inscriptions.
