The image is that of the Prince of the Lillies, a famous figure first "reconstructed" by Émile Gilliéron in 1905 from fragments of an original Minoan fresco from the palace at Knossos on Crete. (Cnosos is the Spanish language spelling of Knossos.) It's a controversial image because the original fragments found were few and small and not very revealing so what Gilliéron produced is most likely more fantasy than history.
It's hard to estimate value without knowing the age or the metal content. Is it marked in any way aside from the name?
