Caesar's Coin is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man being handed a coin in this etching. The scene is simple, with a few figures and basic backgrounds. It's made using a technique that involves scratching a design into a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed into paper, known as etching, and you can learn more about this process at the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington.
