This is a photograph of a commemorative coin or medallion. The medallion is made of bronze and contains inscriptions in Latin around its surface, emphasized by a bead-like border. The text details a timeline of historical events, marked by Roman numerals and dated entries. The surface of the medallion appears slightly worn, but the inscriptions remain legible.
