This image shows both sides of a bronze coin from the Byzantine Empire.

• Left side (obverse): The coin depicts a bust of an emperor wearing elaborate armor and a crown or helmet. He is shown facing forward, with intricate details on his clothing, such as scales or patterns indicative of a military or royal uniform. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in Latin or Byzantine Greek, likely indicating the emperor's name and title, though much of it is worn.

• Right side (reverse): The reverse features a large, prominent letter "M," which denotes the denomination of the coin known as a follis. Above the "M," there is a small cross. Surrounding the "M" are additional inscriptions and symbols. Beneath the "M" is the mint mark "CON," signifying Constantinople as the minting location. The inscriptions likely provide further context about the coin's origin or purpose.

There are green patina deposits visible on the coin, indicating oxidation typical of bronze over time. The image also includes a scale along the right edge, marked in centimeters, to provide size reference.
