This image shows both sides of an ancient coin. The coin appears to be made of bronze or copper and is aged, with visible wear and corrosion.

• Left side (obverse): Depicts a person or group of figures enshrined in an intricate design. The imagery resembles religious or imperial symbolism common to Byzantine coins, with figures possibly on a throne or within an arch-like structure.

• Right side (reverse): Features a large "M," which is often seen on Byzantine coins to represent a denomination (40 nummi, also known as a follis). Below the "M," there is lettering, possibly indicating a mint or issuing location, such as "CON" suggesting Constantinople. Surrounding the central design are additional smaller symbols or letters.

The scale on the right provides measurement in centimeters, helping to gauge the coin's size, indicating it's relatively small. The coin likely dates back to the Byzantine Empire or another historical era with similar styling.

The image shows a Byzantine coin, specifically a copper follis from the Byzantine Empire. It appears to be from the reign of Heraclius, who ruled from 610-641 AD. The coin has two sides visible in the image:

1. On the left side of the image (the obverse of the coin), there is a depiction of two figures, which likely represent Emperor Heraclius and his son Heraclius Constantine. They are both shown standing together, and there is some wear making the details less distinct.

2. On the right side of the image (the reverse of the coin), there is a large "M," which is a common feature on Byzantine folles, indicating the value of 40 nummi. Above the "M" is a cross, and there are Greek letters and possibly the word "CON," indicating it was minted in Constantinople. Various other symbols and letters around it are part of the typical style for such coins, providing mint information and possibly the year of the reign.

The coin has a reddish-brown patina typical of aged bronze or copper and appears worn, consistent with its age. The dimensions are also annotated alongside the image, with a scale in centimeters.
