This image shows the obverse and reverse sides of a copper Byzantine coin. On the obverse (left side), there is a depiction of a figure, which appears to be an emperor or religious icon adorned with a crown or headdress. The figure holds a cross in one hand and possibly a globus cruciger (a sphere topped with a cross) in the other, symbolizing Christian authority. Surrounding the figure is a ring of engraved text in Greek script.

On the reverse (right side), a large "M" dominates the design, which is commonly associated with Byzantine folles (coins) and signifies the denomination. Surrounding the "M," additional inscriptions in Greek denote the year ("ANNO"), a cross above the "M," and the mint mark "CON," indicating that the coin was minted in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). The coin's material and details show some wear from age and circulation, and there is a scale on the right showing centimeter measurements, highlighting the size of the coin.
