About this creation

When the men of Bures shot at their dragon in 1405, the arrows rang off its spine like a brass plate, so it seemed only fair to cut it into brass. Two arrows cross over a field of scales, with the river and the year around the rim.

The scales are engraved shallow and the arrows deep, so they catch the light differently as you turn the coin in your hand.
