This image shows two sides of an ancient, circular coin made of bronze or copper alloy. It has a green patina, indicative of corrosion and age. The coin is worn and fragmented in certain areas.

• Left side (Obverse): Features a portrait of a person, likely a ruler or significant historical figure. The details are heavily degraded but the face, likely in profile or partially frontal orientation, can be discerned. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription or legend, mostly illegible due to wear.

• Right side (Reverse): Displays a large "K" at the center, which might be a denomination indicating 20 (in Byzantine coinage). A small cross appears above the "K," with additional letters and symbols scattered around it. The design likely served to identify the issuing authority or values. There appears to be the letter "Β" at the bottom of the "K," suggesting potentially a mint location.

A scale is visible to the far right, measured in centimeters, providing context on the coin's size. The artifact is an example of historical currency, possibly from the Byzantine Empire or another early medieval society.

The image shows both sides of an ancient coin. The coin is circular but irregular due to wear and damage along the edges, and it appears to be made of bronze or copper, as indicated by the greenish patina covering its surface.

On the left side, there seems to be a worn design that resembles a head or bust, likely an emperor or ruler in profile. Surrounding this central image are faint inscriptions, though they are not legible due to the condition of the coin.

On the right side, there is a prominent design consisting of large letters and symbols. The most visible character appears to be the letter "K" with other letters or symbols surrounding it. Near the "K," there is an inscription that includes other letters, such as a "B," and perhaps additional symbols. There is also a small cross above the "K," which is a common motif in Byzantine coinage.

These elements suggest that this coin could be of Byzantine origin, specifically from the period between the 5th and 9th centuries, which often featured similar iconography and inscriptions. The scale at the side provides a reference for the coin's size in centimeters.
