This image depicts two sides of an ancient coin, likely from the Byzantine era.

  • Left side (obverse): Displays a portrait of a ruler, possibly an emperor or religious figure, wearing ceremonial attire and a crown. The figure is frontal-facing with an ornate design. There are crosses on either side of the figure, indicating religious or Christian significance. Faint inscriptions surround the portrait, possibly indicating the name or title of the ruler.

  • Right side (reverse): Dominated by a large "M," which is typical of Byzantine coins and indicates a denomination (often representing 40 nummi). The letter and other symbols are surrounded by text, including "CON" at the bottom, which may refer to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Other features include small inscriptions and crosses, as well as additional marks indicating the year or mint.

The coin exhibits wear and corrosion, suggesting it's made of bronze or a similar alloy. It comes against a black background with a visible scale to the right, measuring in centimeters.

The image shows two sides of a Byzantine coin, known as a follis, likely minted in the era of Emperor Justinian I, around 540-550 CE.

On the left side of the image is the obverse of the coin, which features a bust of a Byzantine emperor wearing a crown and a military or ceremonial outfit. The emperor is holding a staff or sceptre topped with a cross in his right hand, and there is an inscription on the coin's perimeter.

On the right side of the image is the reverse of the coin, dominated by a large letter "M," which is indicative of the denomination of the follis (40 nummi). Above the "M" is a cross, and flanking it are the letters "A N N O" with Greek numerals indicating the regnal year. Below the "M" is the mintmark, possibly reading "CON" for Constantinople, where the coin was minted.

The coin shows signs of aging and oxidation, typical for artifacts that are over 1,400 years old, with a slightly greenish patina on its surface.

Here is a description of the image:

The image displays two sides of an old, tarnished coin against a stark black background. To the right of the coins, a white ruler marked in centimeters provides a sense of scale.

The coin on the left side features a frontal bust. The figure is wearing a crown-like headdress and possibly ceremonial robes, with crosses on either side of the head and on the body. The text "IPPAVIANVS" (or a similar variation, potentially in Greek or Latin) is inscribed along the coin's rim, suggesting a historical or imperial connection.

The coin on the right side is more abstract, featuring a large, central "M" design. The "M" may stand for a numerical value or an abbreviation. Other symbols, possibly Greek letters like "ANNO" and "CON", are arranged around the "M," adding to the coin's complexity.

Both sides of the coin exhibit significant wear and corrosion, indicating their age and history. The overall impression is of an antique artifact, possibly from the Byzantine Empire or another period of ancient coinage.

The image shows two sides of a historical coin, likely of Byzantine origin, given the iconography and style.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The coin features a bust of a figure facing forward, likely an emperor or a saint.
  • The figure appears to be wearing a crown or halo, which is a common feature in Byzantine coins representing imperial or divine authority.
  • There are crosses on either side of the figure's head, which is typical in Byzantine coinage.
  • Greek letters are visible around the edge of the coin, suggesting an inscription that likely includes the name or title of the figure depicted.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side shows a cross on steps, a common symbol in Byzantine coinage representing Christianity.
  • The cross is flanked by the Greek letters "IC XC," which stand for "Jesus Christ" in Greek.
  • Below the cross, there is an object that appears to be an altar or a table with a book or a chalice, further emphasizing the religious theme.
  • Additional Greek letters are visible around the edge, likely part of an inscription.

The coin appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, given its color and patina. The wear and tear suggest it is quite old, possibly dating back to the Byzantine Empire. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the coin's size, which appears to be relatively small.
