This image shows both sides of a Byzantine coin. The coin is bronze and features distinct imagery and inscriptions:

Left side (reverse view):

  • Depicts two standing figures, likely royal or religious.
  • The figure on the left wears a crown and holds a cross, potentially symbolizing imperial or ecclesiastical authority.
  • The figure on the right has slightly simpler attire, possibly representing a secondary figure or attendant.
  • There is a small cross visible above the crown on the left figure.
  • Greek characters surround this depiction.

Right side (obverse view):

  • Central feature is a large letter "M," which is often indicative of a Byzantine follis, a denomination in their monetary system.
  • Surrounding the "M" are inscriptions in Greek letters, possibly referring to the mint or issuing authority. Specifically, "KYZ" may denote the minting location as Kyzikos (modern-day Turkey), a significant Byzantine mint.
  • The layout includes horizontal bars and other decorative flourishes.

The coin's worn surface and aged patina give it a historical feel. The scale bar along the right edge shows measurement indicators for sizing purposes.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, possibly a Byzantine follis. On the left side, the obverse of the coin features two standing figures. One appears to be an emperor, wearing a crown and holding a large cross. The other figure is likely a saint or a religious figure, perhaps wearing a halo. They stand side by side, with inscriptions around them, but these are hard to discern due to wear.

On the right side, the reverse of the coin features a large letter "M," which is typical for Byzantine folles. This symbolizes the denomination of the coin, indicating its value. Around the "M" are several Greek letters indicating the mint and possibly other details, such as the regnal year. The edge of the coin shows signs of wear and age, and the background is a solid black with a scale indicating centimeters.

The image displays two sides of an ancient-looking coin on a black background. To the right, a ruler marked in centimeters offers a scale.

One side of the coin features two figures standing. The figure on the left is wearing a crown and holding an object, likely a scepter or cross, while the other stands beside them. Above their heads, there is what seems to be foliage or a simple depiction of the sky. The figures are simplistic and appear to be molded or etched into the coin.

Both sides of the coin have a worn and aged appearance, consistent with their age. The overall tone is of archaeological discovery and antiquity.
