The image depicts two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze with a reddish-brown patina.

  1. Obverse (left side): The obverse shows a depiction of two figures standing side by side, possibly religious or royal. The figures are enclosed within an arch or halo-like design. Surrounding the figures are faint inscriptions, which appear worn but may indicate their identities or represent the issuing authority.

  2. Reverse (right side): The reverse features a large central "M" flanked by inscriptions on both sides and additional marks or symbols nearby. The "M" is likely a denomination indicator common in Byzantine coins, typically signifying a value of 40 nummi. The design is encircled by a border, and the inscriptions may include abbreviations or the name of the mint.

A scale in centimeters appears to the right, indicating the coin's small size. The coin's worn appearance suggests historical usage, and it is likely of Byzantine origin, given its style and design.

The image shows a Byzantine coin with two sides (obverse on the left and reverse on the right) against a black background. The coin appears to be made of bronze and shows signs of age with a reddish-brown patina.

  • The obverse (left side) seems to depict two standing figures facing each other. The figures are rendered in a stylized Byzantine manner, with what appears to be a halo around each head, indicating they might be religious figures or emperors. Between them, there might be a vertical column or staff, and Greek lettering can be seen around the figures, although it's somewhat worn.

The letter "M" on Byzantine coins often denotes the denomination of the coin, with "M" indicating 40 nummi (a follis). There are more characters and symbols in the surrounding field, with "ANNO" on the left side, which is part of the date formula. More letters, possibly indicating the mint or regnal year, are on the right side and beneath the "M".
