This image depicts two sides of an ancient Byzantine coin. The coin has a greenish patina, likely due to weathering and oxidation over time, and features intricate designs characteristic of Byzantine numismatics.

• Left side (obverse): There is a detailed portrait of a ruler, possibly an emperor. The figure is shown wearing a crown or imperial headdress with intricate decorations. Two crosses flank the figure, one on each side. Surrounding the image is an inscription, though slightly worn, likely identifying the ruler and containing other symbolic elements.

• Right side (reverse): Dominating this side is a large capital letter "M," a common feature on Byzantine coins, representing the denomination (likely a follis, worth 40 nummi). Additional inscriptions encircle the "M," including symbols and possibly a date or mint mark. There is a small cross above the letter and further text or details below it.

The ruler depicted and the minting details suggest this coin belongs to the Byzantine Empire, dating between the 5th and 7th centuries CE.

Above the "M" is a cross, and around it is an inscription, likely indicating the mint or date. Below the "M" are additional letters, possibly indicating the place of minting.

The coin is set against a black background, with a scale shown to the right indicating centimeters for reference.
