The image shows two sides of a Byzantine coin with a greenish patina, likely made of copper or bronze, indicating age and historical significance.

• On the left side (obverse), two figures are depicted, surrounded by a circular border. They appear to be robed and crowned, possibly imperial figures or saints, facing forward. Each figure holds an object—perhaps a staff or cross—and above their heads, halo-like decorations are evident.

• On the right side (reverse), a large "M" is prominently displayed, surrounded by various symbols, letters, and possibly numbers. This type of design is typical of Byzantine coinage, where large letters often denote the denomination. Below the "M" is a horizontal line, followed by more inscriptions—likely the mint mark indicating the place where the coin was struck.

Adjacent parallel lines on the right serve as a scale in centimeters, emphasizing the coin's size. The overall imagery and style suggest that this coin belongs to the Byzantine Empire, dating between the 5th and 8th centuries CE.

The image shows an ancient coin with two sides displayed. The coin appears to be made of a bronze or copper alloy, giving it a greenish patina over time. The left side of the image depicts the obverse of the coin, which features two partially visible figures facing forward. Both figures have halos around their heads, suggesting they are religious or imperial in nature, possibly representing emperors or saints. There seems to be a cross in the hand of each figure. Greek or Latin script could also be inscribed around the figures.

The right side shows the reverse of the coin. It prominently features a large letter "M" in the center. There are additional inscriptions around the letter, including letters and possibly numerals that could indicate the value or denomination of the coin. The design is typical of Byzantine coinage, where the "M" is often associated with the denomination of a "Follis."

To the far right of the image, there is a measuring scale in centimeters, suggesting the coin is relatively small, as would be typical for a coin of this kind from the Byzantine era.

The green coloration (verdigris) is typical of ancient bronze or copper artifacts that have been exposed to the elements over long periods. The object appears to be oval-shaped and shows signs of significant age and weathering, making it an interesting archaeological or numismatic specimen.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows two sides of an ancient bronze coin, set against a black background with a ruler for scale.

On the left side of the coin, the obverse, there are two stylized figures facing each other. Both figures have halo-like circles around their heads. The figures are depicted in a highly stylized manner, possibly religious figures. The coin is surrounded by worn text in Latin.

On the right side, the reverse side of the coin, there is a large letter "M" in the center. This is likely a denomination mark indicating the value of the coin, along with some smaller letters and numerals that are difficult to decipher due to the age and wear of the coin. Again there appears to be a Latin inscription surrounding the central design.

Both sides of the coin are green due to oxidation, showing the age and history of this artifact. The coin has an irregular, rounded shape, a clear indication of its hand-struck origin.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin against a black background. The coin appears to be made of a metal with a greenish patina, suggesting it is likely bronze or copper.

On the left side (obverse), the coin features two figures facing each other. Both figures have halos around their heads, which is a common depiction in Byzantine coinage, indicating saints or holy figures. The figures are dressed in elaborate robes, and there are symbols or letters between them. The style and imagery suggest that this coin might be from the Byzantine Empire.

On the right side (reverse), the coin displays a large letter "M" in the center, flanked by smaller letters and symbols. Below the "M," there is a horizontal line with additional letters, likely representing the emperor's name or a motto. The design elements and lettering are typical of Byzantine coins, which often included religious and imperial symbols.

The coin is accompanied by a scale on the right side of the image, providing a sense of its size. The scale indicates that the coin is relatively small, consistent with ancient coinage.

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background. The coins appear to be of historical significance, exhibiting a greenish patina which suggests they may be made of a copper or bronze alloy and have aged over time.

• Left Coin: This coin features a profile of a figure, possibly a deity or a historical ruler, facing right. The figure is encircled by a legend that seems to be in a script resembling ancient Greek or Latin, though the precise meaning is not discernible from the image alone.

• Right Coin: This coin carries a different symbol or inscription. It seems to have a more abstract design with a central figure that might represent a deity or a mythological creature. Below this central figure, there are characters that could be interpreted as a name or a title, but again, the exact meaning is not clear. There is also a reference to a location or a city, indicated by the letters "MON," which might denote a specific place or region.

Both coins show signs of wear and corrosion, indicating they are likely from a bygone era and possibly of cultural or historical importance. The background includes a ruler, which serves as a reference for the size of the coins; it shows that the coins are approximately 1 cm in diameter.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, which appears to be a Byzantine follis. The coin is made of bronze and has developed a patina over time, giving it a greenish hue.

• Left Side (Obverse): This side features an image of a crowned figure, likely an emperor, facing forward. The emperor is holding a globe in his left hand and a staff or scepter in his right hand. The inscription around the figure is in Greek, which is typical for Byzantine coins. The details are somewhat worn, indicating the coin's age and use.

• Right Side (Reverse): This side displays a cross potent (a type of cross with small crosses at the ends of its arms) and the letters "M" and "O" on either side. Below the cross, there is the inscription "ON," which likely refers to the mint mark of the coin. The overall design is simpler compared to the obverse.

The coin is shown against a black background, and there is a scale on the right side of the image indicating the size of the coin in centimeters. The coin appears to be slightly irregular in shape, which is common for ancient hand-struck coins.
