The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or copper based on its color and patina. The coin appears to be quite worn and corroded, indicating it is quite old.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The obverse side features what seems to be a portrait of a person facing right. The details are somewhat obscured due to wear and corrosion, but the outline of a head and possibly a crown or headgear can be discerned.
  • There are inscriptions around the portrait, but they are difficult to read due to the condition of the coin.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side displays a design that includes what appears to be a central vertical object, possibly a staff or scepter, flanked by two vertical lines or structures.
  • Similar to the obverse, there are inscriptions around the design, but they are also hard to read due to wear.

Additional Observations:

  • The coin has a scale on the right side of the image, indicating its size. The scale suggests the coin is approximately 2 cm in diameter.
  • The edges of the coin are irregular, which is common in ancient coins due to the minting process used at the time.

Overall, the coin's design and inscriptions suggest it could be from an ancient civilization, possibly Roman, Greek, or another ancient Mediterranean culture. The exact identification would require a closer examination and possibly expert analysis.

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background. The coins appear to be made of bronze or a similar metal, and they exhibit signs of age and wear, with visible patina and erosion.

The coin on the left has a circular shape with a slightly irregular edge. It features a prominent inscription around the rim, which is difficult to read but appears to be in an ancient script.

To the right of the coins, there is a vertical ruler in centimeters, indicating the size of the coins for scale. The ruler helps to estimate the diameter of the coins, which appear to be approximately 1-2 cm in diameter. The overall appearance and details of the coins suggest they are of historical or archaeological significance.
