COIN

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The coin features an intricate design with a central figure seated on a chariot, possibly representing a classical deity or symbolic figure. The figure is holding an olive branch in one hand, and there seems to be an agricultural tool, like a trident, in the other hand. Surrounding the figure is a detailed, decorative border of leaves or laurels, adding a sense of elegance and historical significance to the coin. The coin's surface appears worn, suggesting it has aged over time.
