The image shows two sides of a bronze coin, likely an ancient artifact. Both sides of the coin are circular and have a worn and corroded appearance, suggesting age.

Obverse (Left):

  • The obverse features a detailed relief. It appears to depict two figures, possibly human or divine, standing upright. A third figure, possibly a seated figure, is present in the scene.

Qwen

The image shows two ancient coins side by side against a black background. The coins appear to be made of a reddish-brown metal, possibly bronze or a similar alloy, and they exhibit signs of age and wear, with some areas showing greenish patina, indicating oxidation.

The coin on the left features an image that looks like a figure, possibly a person, standing or seated, with what might be a headdress or crown. The figure is surrounded by a border with what appear to be inscriptions or symbols, though the exact details are not clear due to the wear and corrosion.

The coin on the right has a different design. It has prominent vertical lines that resemble a numeral "X" or a series of vertical strokes. Surrounding these lines are additional inscriptions or symbols, which are also somewhat worn and difficult to decipher.

Both coins have a scalloped or irregular edge, suggesting they might not be perfectly round and could be from an earlier period in metalworking. To the right of the coins, there is a vertical scale marked in centimeters, indicating the size of the coins for reference. The scale helps in estimating the diameter of the coins, which appears to be around 2 to 3 centimeters.
