The image shows a sculpture of a coin featuring a profile portrait of a person facing left. The figure has braided hair styled elegantly around the head and is adorned with a necklace. The clothing is depicted with layered and flowing lines, suggesting drapery. The coin is made of a metal material, possibly silver or a silver-like alloy, giving it a muted grey color. Around the edge of the coin is an inscription in capital letters. The coin's rim is slightly raised and designed with a subtle beading pattern.
