This image depicts both sides of a Byzantine coin. The coin is circular and appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal.

  • Left Side (Obverse): The obverse features a portrait of a ruler, likely an emperor. The figure is shown front-facing, wearing a crown or diadem, with intricate regalia and holding a cross in the right hand. The details of the face and attire suggest imperial authority. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in Greek or Latin, though worn and somewhat difficult to read in detail.

  • Right Side (Reverse): The reverse displays a large "M," a common design on Byzantine coins to signify a denomination known as a "follis." Surrounding the "M" are smaller inscriptions, likely indicating minting details, year, or additional symbols. Below the "M" is a horizontal line, and underneath it appears to be the mint mark, likely "CON," signifying Constantinople. There are additional details at the sides, possibly Greek numerals.

The coin is set against a black background with a scale marked in centimeters to showcase its size. The patina suggests age, indicative of its historical significance.

The scales on the side indicate the size measurement of the coin in centimeters, suggesting the coin is relatively small, as typical of ancient coinage. The coin has a weathered appearance and a patina, indicating its age. This type of coin is often attributed to the Byzantine Empire, and the design elements suggest it might date to the time of Emperor Justinian I or a similar period.

The image features two ancient coins, each with a unique design. The coin on the left showcases a person's face in the center, surrounded by text that is not legible due to its age and wear.

The image shows two sides of an ancient-looking coin against a black background, with a ruler on the right side indicating scale. The coin appears to be made of a dark metal, possibly bronze or copper, and shows signs of wear and oxidation due to age.

On the left side of the image, the coin displays the portrait of a figure, possibly a Roman emperor or important person, with what seems to be a crown or headdress. The figure is facing forward and surrounded by inscription. The detail is somewhat worn, making the inscription difficult to read.

The image presents two sides of a small, circular, ancient bronze coin. Both sides are a weathered dark brown color with signs of age, wear, and oxidation. A cm ruler is placed alongside the coin, indicating its size.

On the first side (obverse), there's a bust of a person facing forward. The person appears to be wearing a crown or head covering and a detailed tunic with what might be a cross on the chest area. There is a circular inscription surrounding the image, which appears to be partially worn off, possibly a name or title.

The other side (reverse) shows a large letter "M" in the center, flanked by other letters to its sides. There are more inscriptions in the outer parts of the coin, with some letters appearing below the “M”. This side also includes signs of wear and corrosion, similar to the obverse. The overall impression is that of an old, historical coin, showing signs of considerable age.

Mistral Pixtral

The image depicts two sides of an ancient Roman coin.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The obverse features a bust of a Roman emperor facing right. The emperor is wearing a laurel wreath, which was a common symbol of victory and authority in Roman iconography.
  • The inscription around the edge reads "CONSTANTIVS PF AVG," which translates to "Constantius Pius Augustus." This indicates that the coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Constantius II, who ruled from 337 to 361 AD.
  • The emperor is depicted in a traditional pose, wearing military attire, which includes a cuirass (armor) and a cloak.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side of the coin shows a scene with two military standards (labarum) flanking a central figure. The labarum was a vexillum (military standard) that displayed a Christian symbol, typically a Chi-Rho, which is visible here.
  • The inscription "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" translates to "Happy times of restoration," referring to the restoration of the empire.
  • The letters "CON" at the bottom likely refer to Constantinople, the city founded by Constantine the Great and an important center of the Roman Empire during this period.

The coin appears to be made of bronze, which was a common material for Roman coins during this era. The wear and patina suggest it has been in circulation or buried for a significant period.

Qwen

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely Roman, given the style of the inscription and the overall appearance. The coin is divided into two halves, each depicting a different side of the coin.

  • Obverse (Front):

    • The front side displays a profile of a man, possibly a Roman emperor or a deity, facing right.
    • Above the profile, there is an inscription that reads "DOMINICIVS AVG" which translates to "Dominicus Augustus," indicating that the man depicted is Domitian, the Roman Emperor in the early 2nd century AD.
    • Below the profile, there is a legend that reads "EXERCITVS ROMANVS," meaning "Roman Legion," suggesting the coin's association with the Roman military.
    • The coin appears to have a greenish patina, indicative of oxidation over time, and shows some wear and tear, particularly around the edges.
  • Reverse (Back):

    • The reverse side features a large letter "M" in the center, which could be an abbreviation of the name "Markianus" or the word "Magnus," or it could represent a specific symbol used by the Roman Empire.
    • Surrounding the "M" are additional inscriptions, including "ANNO" and other partially visible characters that might be part of the year or a historical reference.
    • The reverse side also shows signs of aging and wear, with a similar greenish patina as the obverse.

The overall condition of the coin suggests it has been well-preserved for a considerable time but has experienced natural aging processes, as evidenced by the patina and wear. The coin is marked with a ruler on the right side to indicate its size, showing it is approximately 2 cm in diameter.

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct on 2025-07-07

The image shows an ancient coin, likely from the Roman Empire, displayed in two views: the obverse (front) and the reverse (back).

  • The man is wearing a diadem or crown, indicating his status.
  • There is an inscription around the perimeter of the coin, which appears to be Latin, though the exact text is not clearly legible in this image.

Reverse (right side):

  • The reverse depicts a standing figure, possibly a deity or allegorical figure, holding a staff or spear.
  • There are additional inscriptions around the perimeter, again in Latin, which are not fully legible.
  • The coin also shows signs of wear and patina, similar to the obverse.

The coin is placed against a black background, and there is a ruler on the right side for scale, indicating that the coin is approximately 2 cm in diameter. This suggests it is a small, likely bronze or copper alloy coin.
