This image shows a detailed view of both sides of a Byzantine coin. It appears to be made of bronze, showing signs of age such as wear and green patina from oxidation.

Left side (Obverse):
The coin features a design with two figures standing side by side, most likely early Byzantine emperors or religious figures. They are depicted in stylized robes, and some details of their figures and faces are indistinct due to the coin’s age or wear. Below the figures, there is the inscription "VITA."

Right side (Reverse):
The reverse prominently displays the large letter "M," which is a common feature of Byzantine coinage. This likely signifies the coin's denomination (such as a follis). Flanking the "M" are small markings or inscriptions, perhaps indicating the minting location or additional details about the coin's value. The horizontal bar below the letter contains further inscriptions, which seem worn but suggest references to the mint or issuing authority.

The coin is placed against a black background, with a vertical measurement scale on the right side, indicating size in centimeters.

Qwen

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

The image shows two ancient coins, likely from the Roman Empire, lying against a black background. The coins have a reddish-brown patina indicating they are quite old.

Coin on the left:

  • The obverse (front) of the coin features a figure that appears to be a seated deity, possibly Jupiter, based on the Capitolium imagery (two figures with a temple in the background). This is often associated with the Roman Triad, with the two figures representing Juno (Flaminia) and Minerva (or Bellona).
  • Below the figure, the word "VITA" is inscribed, which translates to "life" in Latin.
  • The coin's edge shows a truncation, which is a common feature in ancient coin design, where part of the figure's head is cut off.

Coin on the right:

  • The reverse (back) of the coin features a large "M" (likely for "MVF" or "MVR"), which could stand for "Marcus" or "Mars," the Roman god of war.
  • Below the "M," there are additional inscriptions that are harder to decipher with certainty but likely include the name of a magistrate or other official.
  • The coin's edge is also truncated.

The presence of both the Capitolium imagery and the "MVF" on the reverse suggests that this could be a provincial coin from a Roman colony or province, possibly from the time of the late Republic or early Empire, when such imagery was common for coins issued by local officials or in honor of the Roman gods.
