This image shows two sides of an ancient coin.

• Obverse (left): The coin depicts a frontal bust of an emperor, likely dressed in ceremonial regalia. The figure wears what appears to be a crown or headdress and holds a cross-shaped scepter in one hand and an orb topped with a cross in the other, representing imperial power and divine authority. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription, although some details are difficult to discern due to wear.

• Reverse (right): The reverse side prominently displays a large "M," which is typical of Byzantine coins and represents the denomination of 40 nummi (a follis). Surrounding the "M" are additional inscriptions, including "ANNO" and what seem to be Greek or Latin numerals (possibly indicating the year of minting). Below the "M," there are additional markings or abbreviations that likely refer to the mint location—possibly "NIKO," which would correspond to Nicomedia.

The coin is made of bronze and appears to date from the Byzantine Empire period. The measurement scale on the right indicates its size.

On the left side of the image is the obverse of the coin, which features the bust of a figure, likely an emperor or a religious figure, facing forward.

It prominently displays a large letter "M" in the center, which is a typical denomination mark for Byzantine copper coins, often representing 40 nummi, also known as a follis. The "M" is flanked by additional markings and inscriptions, including what appears to be the Greek letter "A" and "N," possibly indicating the mint location or other identifying information. There are also numerals "XII" and "I" suggesting regnal years or additional denominations. Near the bottom, the additional inscription "NIKO" may refer to the mint location of Nicomedia.

The background of the image is black, and there is a scale to the right indicating the size of the coin in centimeters.
