Coins [plate 4]

About this work

This sheet shows sixteen small circles with old coins drawn inside. Each coin has a picture of a person or a crest on one side. The other side has words in Latin and numbers. The lines are sharp and dark, like they were scratched into the paper. One coin has a bird on it, and another shows a man with a crown. The artist signed his name in the corner. The whole thing looks like a study of different symbols from long ago. Want to know more? Look up etching.
