On the left side, there is a depiction of a male profile, possibly a ruler or emperor, adorned with a crown, wreath, or headpiece in the classical style. The details are not fully clear due to wear and corrosion. On the right side, the reverse design features a standing figure, possibly holding objects such as a scepter or staff, surrounded by faint markings or text that may represent inscriptions. The coin's aged, dark patina reflects its antiquity, and a measurement scale in centimeters is visible on the far right side for reference.
