This image shows both sides of an ancient Byzantine coin.

  • Left Side (Obverse): The coin features a detailed depiction of a crowned figure, likely a Byzantine emperor or an iconographic representation of Christ. Surrounding the figure is text or inscriptions that appear to be in Greek or a similar script. The figure holds a scepter or cross in one hand, signifying imperial or divine authority. The detailed headdress and attire indicate a ceremonial or regal representation.

  • Right Side (Reverse): The central symbol is a large "M," which is a common feature of Byzantine coins, signifying the denomination (likely 40 nummi, called a follis). Above the "M" is a cross, surrounded by additional inscriptions, including "ANNO" (Latin for "year") and what appears to be numerals (indicating the regnal year). At the bottom, the inscription "CON" points to Constantinople as the mint location.

The coin exhibits wear and corrosion consistent with its age, and the scale shown to the right gives an indication of its size in centimeters.

The image shows an ancient Byzantine coin, specifically a copper follis. On the obverse (left side) of the coin, there is a depiction of a crowned figure in a frontal pose, holding a cross in the right hand. This figure is likely an emperor, as indicated by the regalia and the inscription surrounding it, which includes the emperor's name and titles, though it's partly worn and difficult to read fully. On the reverse (right side) of the coin, a large "M" is prominently displayed, which denotes the value of the coin (40 nummi). Surrounding the "M" are various inscriptions, including "ANNO" typically followed by a regnal year, and "CON" at the bottom signifying the mint at Constantinople. The coin shows signs of age and wear, with some corrosion and uneven edges, typical of excavated ancient coins. The scale on the right side indicates size in centimeters.
