Commentary
La représentation d’Hercule au revers est de toute beauté. Il s’agit d’un bel exemple de l’art baroque de l’extrême fin du XVIIe siècle. Le rendu est comparable à une oeuvre pictural.
The depiction of Hercules on the reverse is truly beautiful. It is a fine example of Baroque art from the very end of the 17th century. The rendering is comparable to a pictorial work.
