The image depicts a Byzantine coin with two distinct sides (obverse and reverse):

Obverse (left side):
This side features two seated figures, likely imperial portraits. Each figure holds a staff or similar object and wears detailed garments that include crowns or ornate headpieces, indicating their regal status. The figures are surrounded by inscriptions or designs, possibly in Greek or Latin, which are common on Byzantine coins.

Reverse (right side):
The reverse displays a large central "M," which denotes the denomination of the coin (likely a follis, a common Byzantine bronze coin). There are smaller letters or symbols around the "M," along with a horizontal line beneath it. These additional markings could represent mint information or further inscriptions.

The coin has a weathered bronze-like appearance, and its intricate designs and symbols point to its cultural and historical significance during the Byzantine Empire. A measurement scale appears on the right side of the image, providing context for its size.

The image depicts a Byzantine coin with designs on both the obverse (front) and reverse (back) sides, which are both visible.

On the left side of the image is the obverse of the coin. It features two standing figures, likely Byzantine emperors. The figures are dressed in imperial garments and are each holding a globus cruciger, which is a symbol of authority. They appear to be wearing crowns and standing side by side, facing the viewer. Surrounding them are inscriptions, though they are not completely legible in the image.

On the right side of the image is the reverse of the coin. This side prominently features a large letter "M," which is a common feature for Byzantine coins indicating the denomination of 40 nummi (also known as a follis). There are other Greek letters surrounding the central "M," likely indicating the name of the emperor, mint, and possibly the year. The inscriptions "ANNO" and "KYZ" can be discerned, with the latter possibly indicating that the coin was minted in Kyzikos.

The background is black, and the coin is displayed with a scale to the right in centimeters, showing its actual size.
