About this work

Copper medal. Obverse: seated St. Nicholas with a mitre on his head, holding a bishop's staff in his left hand and making a blessing gesture with his right hand within an inscription. Reverse: a scale in balance between two flintlock sparks, from which sparks fly; between the scales: the year within a wreath of leaves.
