This is a photograph of an ancient coin, showcasing both its obverse and reverse faces. The coin appears to be bronze or copper, with a weathered and aged patina displaying shades of brown and green. Further details:

  • Obverse (left side): The design shows three standing figures, possibly saints or rulers, with halos around their heads. They are surrounded by inscriptions, although the text is slightly worn and difficult to discern. This imagery suggests religious or imperial significance.

  • Reverse (right side): Displays a prominent "M," possibly symbolizing a denomination of the coin (likely associated with Byzantine currency, such as a follis). A cross is visible above the "M," and there are additional marks and inscriptions around the edges, including what appear to be Greek letters or symbols.

The scale on the right side of the image indicates the coin's physical size, measured in centimeters. The dark background enhances the contrast, allowing the details of the coin to stand out.
