This image depicts both sides of an ancient Byzantine coin with a dark, corroded patina.

  • Left side (obverse): It features two stylized seated figures side-by-side. The figures wear halos, indicating a religious or imperial significance, and their positioning suggests they might represent saints, rulers, or holy individuals. Around the figures, faint inscriptions and symbols, including crosses, are visible but worn due to age.

Above the "M" is a cross, and flanking it are additional faint inscriptions. At the bottom, Greek letters are visible, possibly denoting the mint location or ruler's name during its issuance.

A scale indicator on the right suggests the coin is being measured in centimeters, providing context for its physical size. Overall, this coin carries cultural and historical value representative of its era.
