This image shows two sides of an ancient coin, possibly a Byzantine coin based on its design. On the left side, the obverse depicts a bust of a ruler wearing a crown or headdress, likely an emperor, adorned with regal garments. Surrounding this image are inscriptions that are difficult to read due to wear but appear to be the ruler's name and titles.

On the right side, the reverse of the coin features a prominent "M," which indicates the denomination (often associated with a Byzantine follis) flanked by other symbols and inscriptions. Above the "M" is a small cross, and below are letters, possibly identifying the mint or region where the coin was produced. Additional decorations or letters are visible on the sides, though some areas show wear and corrosion.

The coin exhibits a patina consistent with age, suggesting it is made of bronze or copper, and appears to have historical significance. On the right of the image is a scale in centimeters, demonstrating the coin's size.

This image shows a close-up view of both sides of an ancient bronze coin displayed on a black background.

On the left side of the image, the front (obverse) of the coin is depicted. It features the image of a ruler, possibly an emperor, wearing a crown or helmet, with draped garments.

There are inscriptions around the edges, notably "CON" at the bottom, which likely indicates that the coin was minted in Constantinople.
