Zoid the depth on the front of that coin 🪙 is simply amazing. It is like an Escher painting. That is awesome!
The motto above the bull reads, "Antwerp's Art Festival."
Around the bull reads, "WT Jonsten gathers"
Below is, "18,19,20 Harvest 1861"
I'm thinking that "harvest" might also be translated as "August" which would date the event.
"August
August, of course, is traditionally the beginning of the 'oogst' and the harvest months. The original medieval Dutch name of August was not 'augustus' but 'arenmaent' which means 'harvest month."

Do you know who struck or issued those? I've been following them and trying to find some information on them.

1792-2017 Half Disme Restrike 225th Ann. NGC PF70 UC Ed Moy Signed
Item# 273118
Sold Out!
Price: $129.98
Description & Specs
In honor of the 225th Anniversary of the US Mint. The Mint Director’s Series Presents: The 1792 Half Disme Restrike. In 1792, the nascent United States Mint struck its first coins as a new nation. These first coins -- the 1792 half disme, which as legend has it was struck using Martha Washington’s silver and was delivered to the Mint personally by Thomas Jefferson -- have been one of the absolute most sought-after coins in history. From Ed Moy, the former Director of the United States Mint, we are proud to offer this pure silver commemorative. As the first release in the Mint Director’s Series, this 1792 medal issue is an affordable way for enthusiasts and collectors to celebrate this most important of numismatic events. Strictly limited to a mintage of 2,000 silver proofs. And is a TV exclusive for The Coin Vault!
@Zoins yeah, not really info on who struck these but nice to find out there are 2000 minted of the silver.
I knew there are only 300 of the gold because it states 1 of 300.

Love the color and originality of this coin and the surfaces are pretty clean for a Philadelphia eagle.
