This image depicts both sides of a small, rectangular, bronze coin from the Byzantine era.

Left side:
The obverse (front face) shows a detailed engraving of two figures seated next to each other, possibly saints or rulers, surrounded by symbolic elements such as crosses. They are wearing garments typical of the Byzantine style, with clear halos above their heads, indicating their sacred or significant status. The engraving has a worn texture, suggesting age or frequent handling.

Right side:
The reverse (back face) contains large, stylized inscriptions. The dominant "M" could be a denomination mark often seen on Byzantine coinage, possibly indicating "40 nummi" (a follis, a common Byzantine coin). Below the "M" are letters and symbols that likely correspond to the mint or region where the coin was produced—perhaps "KYZ," signifying it was minted in Cyzicus, a Byzantine city. There is also a small decorative design above the "M," possibly a cross or another emblem.

The size reference on the far right (marked in centimeters) provides a sense of scale, emphasizing the coin's small size. Its dark bronze patina shows age and historical significance.
