Comment

A putto inscribes his figure inside the disc of the coin. The thought returns to the man and to his fruit more fragrant than him, the child. The child plays with himself, with his hands, in his first attempt to learn distance measurements, to settle in the atmosphere, to feel part of the world, but of a world of peace.
