This image depicts two sides of an ancient coin. The coin appears to be made of bronze or copper, bearing a reddish-brown patina indicative of age and oxidation.

• Left side (obverse): The design features two human figures that appear to be religious or regal in nature, possibly saints or rulers. They are standing side by side, holding religious or ceremonial items, such as a cross or scepter. There’s a circular border around the figures.

• Right side (reverse): This side shows a central object that resembles a column, altar, or another religious artifact topped by a cross. Surrounding the object are faint inscriptions or symbols, likely denoting the cultural or monetary value of the coin.

The black background and measurement scale on the right indicate that this coin is being displayed for study or documentation purposes, likely in an archaeological or historical context.

The image depicts two sides of a Byzantine copper coin, known as a follis, from the reign of Emperor Andronikos I Komnenos, who ruled from 1183 to 1185 AD. The coin has a rustic appearance typical of medieval copper currency with some patina and wear indicative of its age.

On the left side of the image, the obverse of the coin shows two standing figures. The figures appear to be nimbate (with halos), possibly depicting two saints or religious figures holding long crosses. The details are somewhat worn, but they are enclosed within a beaded circular border.

On the right side, the reverse of the coin features a distinct design, likely a symbolic religious image, possibly a stylized representation of a cross or architectural structure such as a church. The design is rather abstract and surrounded by some inscription, which is typical of Byzantine coinage. The imagery is bordered by a circular pattern similar to the beaded border on the obverse.

The dark background helps to highlight the coin's details, and the vertical scale on the right side of the image suggests that the photograph may have been taken in a controlled, museum-like setting.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows two views of a circular, aged, and worn bronze coin. It's against a plain black background, with a centimeter scale ruler on the right edge for size reference.

Both sides of the coin are heavily patinated in shades of brown and green, suggesting age and corrosion. The details on each side are worn, making them difficult to discern.

One side appears to depict figures. Two figures are standing side by side. They may be holding objects or symbols. A cross or similar religious symbol is visible above each figure. The design is surrounded by a border.

The other side of the coin features a different design. It also appears to have a central figure or symbol, with what could be leaves or floral patterns to either side. The border is the same.

Overall, the coin appears to be an antique artifact, likely of historical significance. The wear and patina indicate it has undergone significant aging.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or copper based on its coloration. The coin appears to be worn and corroded, indicating it is quite old.

• Left Side (Obverse):

  • The obverse features a central figure, which seems to be a bust or a portrait of a person facing forward. The details of the figure are somewhat obscured by wear and corrosion, but it appears to be a person wearing a headdress or crown.
  • Surrounding the central figure are inscriptions or symbols, but they are not clearly legible due to the condition of the coin.

• Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side displays a central object that resembles a chandelier or a similar structure with hanging elements. This could be a representation of a religious or symbolic artifact.
  • There are also inscriptions or symbols around the central object, but they are similarly difficult to read due to the coin's condition.

The coin's edges are irregular, suggesting it may have been hand-struck rather than milled, which is typical of ancient coinage. The presence of a scale on the right side of the image indicates that the coin is relatively small, likely around 1-2 centimeters in diameter.
