The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely from the Byzantine Empire, based on the style of the portrait and the inscriptions.

The obverse (front) side of the coin features a bust of a man, possibly a ruler, wearing a helmet with a crest and a diadem. Above the bust, the inscription reads "ANVSP PAX" in Latin, which translates to "Augustus, Peace." Below the bust, there are additional inscriptions in Latin that appear to reference the name of the ruler and the year of minting.

The reverse (back) side of the coin depicts a seated figure that appears to be a female, possibly a deity or a saint, holding a cross and a staff. The figure is also wearing a robe with a patterned border. To the left and right of the figure, there are additional inscriptions, including "A.N." and "XII," which could be abbreviations and possibly a date in Roman numerals. The inscription at the bottom reads "CON," which might stand for "Constantinopolis" or another relevant term.

The coin has a dark patina, indicating its age and the effects of oxidation over time. The presence of the scale on the right side of the image suggests that the coin is being measured for size, which is common in numismatics. The coin appears to be quite old, likely dating from the 6th or 7th century AD, a time when the Byzantine Empire was still in existence.
