This image depicts a close-up view of both sides of an ancient bronze coin set against a black background. The coin shows significant wear and corrosion, characteristic of its age.

  • Left side (obverse): Details are faint, but it appears to feature a figure seated or standing alongside vertical elements that could be pillars or symbols. There may also be inscriptions or decorative elements, but they are heavily worn and difficult to discern.

  • Right side (reverse): The reverse shows a clearer geometric design, featuring two large "X" shapes intersecting, with symbols or markings above and below them. Below the "X" shapes, there is a horizontal line, with additional faint inscriptions beneath the line.

A scale in centimeters is shown to the right of the image, providing a size reference for the coin. The greenish patina visible on the coin is typical of bronze artifacts due to oxidation over time.

The image shows two sides of an ancient, corroded coin against a black background. To the right of the coin, there is a ruler in centimeters to indicate the size of the object.

Both sides of the coin are significantly weathered, with a green-blue patina covering the surface. The details are worn and partially obscured by corrosion.

On the left coin side, there appear to be figures and symbols etched into the metal. The design includes a vertical line on the left side, a small standing humanlike form on the center, and illegible characters to the right side.

On the right coin side, there is a design featuring what seems to be a cross at the top, two crossed arrows in the center, a horizontal line beneath the arrows, and possibly other symbols or characters underneath the line.

The rough, uneven edges of the coin, along with the heavy corrosion, suggest that this artifact is quite old and has been exposed to the elements or buried for an extended period.

Mistral Pixtral

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or copper given its greenish patina, which is characteristic of oxidized copper alloys.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The obverse side of the coin features a figure, possibly a ruler or deity, standing and facing to the right.
  • The figure appears to be holding an object in its right hand, which could be a scepter or staff.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side of the coin displays a monogram or symbol in the center, which seems to be composed of intersecting lines forming a stylized letter or emblem.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-06-30

The image shows two ancient coins, likely from the Byzantine Empire, placed against a black background. The coins are displayed in two views: one is the obverse (front) and the other is the reverse (back) of the same coin.

  • Obverse (Front): The front of the coin displays a figure, possibly a depiction of a emperor or a person of significance, shown in a profile facing right. The figure is wearing a head covering and has a halo around the head, which is a common feature in Byzantine coinage. The figure's posture is upright, and there is an inscription in Greek below the figure, which is likely a name or a title.

  • Reverse (Back): The back of the coin features a cross surrounded by inscriptions. The cross is centered and appears to be made up of four smaller crosses forming a larger one. There is additional Greek text around the cross, which could be a date or a mint mark.

The surface of the coins appears to have a green patina, indicating they have been exposed to the elements for a significant period, which is typical of ancient artifacts. The edges of the coins are irregular, suggesting they may not be in perfect condition, possibly due to wear over time. A ruler in centimeters is visible on the right side of the image, providing a sense of the coin's size.
