This is an image of a gold coin, likely of Byzantine origin. The coin appears to be double-sided and features detailed iconography typical of the time.


Left Side (Obverse):

  • Two seated figures, likely religious or imperial figures, adorned with halos around their heads.
  • They are seated on a throne-like structure and each appears to be holding an item (possibly a staff or orb, typically symbolic of authority or divinity).
  • Surrounding the imagery is Latin or Greek text, which is partially legible, with "CNC" visible at the bottom, potentially indicating a mint mark or abbreviation.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • A single figure stands at the center with a halo, possibly a saint, emperor, or angel.
  • The figure holds a staff or cross, flanked by what might be additional structures, symbols, or vertical designs.
  • Text encircles the imagery and includes "CONOB" at the bottom, which is a common abbreviation for "Constantinople Obryzum," a reference to the coin being minted in Constantinople and made of pure gold.

The coin's gold composition and intricate imagery indicate it may be a historical solidus, a high-value currency used in the Byzantine Empire for trade and ceremonial purposes. The scale on the right of the image suggests its size measurements in centimeters.
