The sculpture on the circular object is a large sailing ship fully rigged with multiple sails billowing. Details of the ship, including the masts and rigging, are visible. In the foreground, there are wave-like engravings representing water. In the background, a faint coastline with structures is visible on the left side. An inscription at the top reads "NECQFETAMIFLQVETERMINVSORBI." The material is gold-colored metal, giving it a luxurious appearance. This image appears on a coin or medallion, with skilled engraving work bringing the ship to life through shadows.
