This image shows both sides of an ancient bronze coin against a black background. On the left, the obverse (front) side depicts a figure, likely a ruler or religious figure, surrounded by worn inscriptions and a decorative border. The figure has a faintly visible face and appears to be holding an object, possibly symbolic or ceremonial.

On the right, the reverse (back) side features a large "M" at its center, surrounded by additional inscriptions and symbols. The "M" might represent a denomination typical of Byzantine coins, such as "40 nummi." The surrounding text appears to be heavily weathered, making it challenging to decipher fully.

The coin bears a greenish patina from age and oxidation, indicating its antiquity. A vertical scale in centimeters on the far right provides context for the coin's dimensions.

Mistral Pixtral

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. Here is a detailed description of each side:

  1. Left Side (Obverse):

    • The obverse side features a bust of a figure facing to the right.
    • The figure appears to be wearing a headdress or crown, which could indicate royalty or a deity.
    • There is an inscription around the edge of the coin, but it is partially worn and difficult to read completely.
    • The coin shows signs of wear and corrosion, indicating its age.
  2. Right Side (Reverse):

    • The reverse side depicts a structure that looks like a temple or an architectural facade with columns.
    • There is an inscription above and below the structure. The inscription above appears to read "NΙKΟ," which could be part of a longer word or phrase.
    • The coin also shows signs of wear and corrosion, similar to the obverse side.

The coin appears to be made of a metal alloy, likely bronze or copper, given its color and patina. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the size of the coin, which appears to be relatively small, typical of ancient coinage. The design and inscriptions suggest it could be from the Hellenistic or Roman period, but further examination by a numismatist would be necessary for a precise identification.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-07-06

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background.

  • Left Coin: The obverse (front) of the coin features a profile portrait of a male figure, possibly a historical or mythological personage, facing right. The figure is wearing a diadem, which suggests a royal or divine status. The inscription around the portrait is in a script that appears to be from an ancient language, possibly Greek or Latin, though the exact characters and their meaning are not clearly discernible. The coin's surface shows signs of aging with a greenish patina, indicating it has been exposed to the elements for a long time.

  • Right Coin: The reverse (back) of the coin displays a large letter "M" surrounded by a circular inscription. Below the "M," there is additional text that appears to be another inscription, but it is not legible in the image. The patina on this side is also greenish, similar to the obverse, suggesting the same conditions of exposure to the elements. The "M" likely represents a monetary symbol, denomination, or abbreviation of a name.

The presence of the ruler marks on the right side suggests these coins might be of a specific type or denomination. The ruler mark indicates a control over the coin's production, often used by rulers to ensure the authenticity and value of their currency.

A scale is visible to the far right of the image, marked in centimeters, which allows for an estimation of the coin's size. The scale helps in assessing the physical dimensions of the coins, which appear to be relatively small, consistent with ancient coinage.
