This drawing by Bernard Picart from 1683-1733 depicts the obverse and reverse of a coin commemorating the conquests of Duke Charles of Normandy. The obverse features a seated figure of Duke Charles in a regal pose. On the reverse, Duke Charles is shown on horseback, wielding a sword. The detailed designs and inscriptions in Latin offer insights into the historical significance of the coin and the power and prestige of Duke Charles. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
