This image shows two sides of an aged and corroded bronze or copper coin, likely of ancient origin.

  • Left side (Obverse): There is a profile portrait of a figure, likely an emperor or ruler, facing to the right. The details of the face and surrounding features are worn, but the outline is visible. Around the perimeter, faint text or legends are inscribed, now partially eroded.

  • Right side (Reverse): The design depicts a small architectural structure, resembling a temple or shrine with columns supporting a triangular pediment at the top. Similar to the obverse, there is a faint inscription around the perimeter, but the text is heavily worn and illegible.

The coin's surface shows signs of oxidation and wear, with green and brown tones indicating age and exposure to the elements. A visible scale on the right suggests the image was taken for documentation or research purposes.

The image features an ancient Roman coin, specifically a bronze Sestertius of Emperor Philip I, also known as Philip the Arab. The coin has a diameter of approximately 29 mm. On the obverse side (left), there is a profile portrait of Emperor Philip I facing right, adorned with a radiate crown. The inscription around the portrait is mostly worn and difficult to read. On the reverse side (right), there is an illustration of a hexastyle temple (a temple with six columns at the front), possibly a representation of the Temple of Jupiter. The coin has a worn and corroded surface, which is typical of ancient coins due to age and exposure over time. The color of the coin is a typical greenish-brown patina, indicative of its copper alloy composition. Overall, the image captures an artifact that offers historical and numismatic insights into the Roman Empire during Philip I's reign in the mid-3rd century AD.

The image displays two ancient bronze coins, each featuring distinct designs and inscriptions. The coin on the left has a portrait of a man, likely a Roman emperor, with intricate details in his hair and facial features, although the image is somewhat worn and patinated. The coin on the right depicts a structure, possibly a temple, with a clear architectural design, including columns and a roof. Both coins have a rough texture and signs of age, with visible wear and corrosion. They are displayed on a black background, with a ruler on the right side for scale, indicating the coins are approximately 3 centimeters in diameter.

The image shows two ancient coins on a black background, with a ruler on the right side. The coin on the left has a portrait of a man in the middle, and the coin on the right has a building in the middle. The coins are brown in color and appear to be made of bronze. The ruler on the right side has white lines that are probably used for measuring the size of the coins.

The image shows two sides of a bronze coin, likely an ancient Roman coin, displayed side-by-side against a black background. The coin is heavily corroded and patinated, with shades of brown and green. The coin has a small chip on the upper left side.

On the left side of the image, the obverse side of the coin shows the bust of a person facing to the left. The details are obscured by the corrosion, but it appears to be a portrait with a laurel wreath. Some lettering is visible on the bottom of the coin.

On the right side of the image, the reverse side of the coin shows a building. Again, the details are somewhat obscured, but it appears to be a Roman temple or other monumental structure. There is some lettering around the top of the building, also obscured by corrosion.

To the right of the coin is a metric ruler, oriented vertically, with markings in centimeters labeled at the bottom right corner.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall:

The image features two ancient coins, side-by-side, against a black background. A ruler is positioned alongside the coins for scale.

Left Coin (Obverse):

  • The coin is circular, but has significant wear and some chipping around the edge, indicating age.
  • There is a profile image of a person, likely a ruler or important figure, facing right. The details are worn, but the features of the face and the hair (possibly a laurel wreath) are still partially visible.
  • The coin is a brownish, bronze color with green patina covering the surface due to oxidation.

Right Coin (Reverse):

  • Similar to the obverse, this coin is circular with wear and damage to the edges.
  • The reverse side has a depiction of a building façade, likely a temple or public structure, with vertical columns.
  • Like the other coin, this one has the same bronze color and a green patina, indicating age and exposure to the elements.

Additional Details:

  • The lighting is even, allowing a clear view of both sides of the coins.
  • The coins are well-centered in the frame.
  • The cm ruler beside the coins gives a sense of the size.

The image depicts both sides of an ancient coin against a black background. Here is a detailed description of each side:

  1. Obverse (Left Side):

    • The obverse side of the coin shows a portrait of a person facing right.
    • The portrait appears to be of a male figure, possibly a ruler or an important figure from antiquity.
    • The coin has a worn appearance, with some details of the face and hair visible but not very clear due to the patina and wear.
    • There is some inscription around the edge of the coin, but it is not entirely legible due to the condition of the coin.
  2. Reverse (Right Side):

    • The reverse side features a structure that resembles a building or temple with columns.
    • There is an inscription surrounding the central image, but it is also worn and not fully legible.
    • The coin has a similar level of wear as the obverse side, with a patina that indicates its age.

The coin appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, given its color and the presence of a greenish patina. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the coin's size, which is relatively small, typical of ancient coinage.
