This image depicts two sides of a bronze Byzantine coin against a black background.

• Obverse (left side): Features a depiction of Christ, shown front-facing with a halo surrounding his head, an iconic representation of Byzantine religious art. The halo and portrait are encircled by a detailed border. The image of Christ is stylized, with visible wear and aging on the coin's surface. He is dressed in robes with intricate geometric patterns.

• Reverse (right side): Displays a large "M", flanked by Greek letters and symbols. Above the "M" is a cross, while below it are additional inscriptions. This is characteristic of Byzantine coinage, where large letters were often used to denote monetary value or authority. The surface texture suggests considerable age, and the inscriptions are slightly worn but still discernible.

A scale ruler on the right side of the image provides a sense of the coin's size, measured in centimeters. The reddish-brown patina indicates the coin is made of copper alloy and has experienced aging and oxidation over time.

The image shows a Byzantine bronze coin called a follis, struck during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, between 527–528 AD. The coin has two sides, with the obverse (left side) depicting a bust of Jesus Christ, adorned with a halo and dressed in a robe, holding the Gospels in one hand. The border of this side is decorated with inscriptions in Greek letters.

The reverse (right side) features a large capital "M," which is the denomination mark for the follis, surrounded by additional Greek inscriptions. Above the "M" is a cross, and there is also a letter "N" followed by a "Є" at its center. Below the "M," there are further inscriptions that seem to read "THEUP," likely indicating the mint or other identifying information. The coin is shown against a black background with a measuring scale on the right for size reference, suggesting it is several centimeters in diameter. The overall appearance and the style of the inscriptions are typical of early Byzantine coinage.
