This image shows two sides of an ancient coin against a black background with a centimeter scale visible on the right-hand side for size reference.

• Left side: Depicts figures and symbols, likely portraits or stylized designs. The coin's surface is worn, but it seems to feature human-like figures in a standing position with possibly halos or circular motifs around their heads. There are additional vertical and linear elements suggesting ornamentation or inscriptions.

• Right side: Displays inscriptions and markings dominated by a large "M," which is typical for Byzantine coins representing a denomination. Surrounding the "M," there are additional letters likely forming parts of an inscription, such as "Ano" on the left side and "CON" at the bottom, which might refer to Constantinople, the mint location.

The coin shows patina, a greenish-brown surface alteration characteristic of aged bronze or copper currency. Its details and symbols are indicative of historical Byzantine-era coinage.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or another metal with a coppery patina. The coin displays signs of wear and corrosion, suggesting it is quite old.

On the left side of the image is the obverse of the coin, which appears to depict two standing figures, possibly wearing robes and holding staffs or scepters. The figures are surrounded by what looks like a circular border of inscriptions or decorative elements, though the details are worn and difficult to discern.

To the left, the word "ANNO" is visible, and there are letters to the right and below the 'M' as well, including the partial word "CON".

Overall, the coin appears to be a Byzantine follis, a kind of large bronze coin, with the letter "M" representing the denomination of 40 nummi. This type of coin would have been used during the Byzantine Empire. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the size of the coin, measuring several centimeters in diameter.

Here is a description of the image:

The image presents two ancient coins, each with a circular shape and a weathered, bronze appearance. The coins are set against a stark black background, with a ruler in centimeters placed vertically along the right edge for scale.

On the left, the coin's obverse side (the side usually depicting a ruler or notable figure) is visible. It seems to depict a scene with at least one figure, possibly two, in a detailed engraving. The figures appear to be facing each other, perhaps sitting, within a setting. The details are faint, suggesting the coin has suffered some wear and tear.

The coin on the right, viewed from the reverse side (the other side), features a central letter 'M' that appears to be partially obscured by patina. The word "ANNO" is visible at the top, and at the bottom is the abbreviation "CON". The lettering is raised, and the overall design is more abstract than the obverse of the other coin.

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background. The coins appear to be of similar size and have a reddish-brown patina, suggesting they are made of brass or bronze and possibly have some oxide or rust present.

The coin on the left has a design that includes what appears to be a figure or emblem in the center, surrounded by inscriptions or symbols. The coin on the right also has inscriptions and what looks like a figure or symbol in the center, but it is less distinct due to the wear or patina.

Both coins have a worn, slightly irregular shape, which is typical of ancient coins. The edge of the coin on the right is smoother compared to the left, which has more pronounced ridges or edges.

To the right of the coins, there is a vertical ruler with centimeter markings, indicating the size of the coins. The ruler is placed to the right of the coins, and the image appears to be taken from a top-down perspective.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely of Byzantine origin, displayed against a black background with a white scale marker on the right side indicating centimeters.

On the left side of the image is the obverse (front) of the coin. It features a depiction of two figures standing side by side, possibly emperors or rulers, facing forward. One figure appears to be slightly smaller, suggesting a junior co-ruler or a son. Both figures are wearing imperial regalia, including crowns or diadems, and are holding objects that might be scepters or crosses. The coin has some inscriptions around the perimeter, but they are not easily readable due to wear and corrosion.

On the right side of the image is the reverse (back) of the coin. It shows a more abstract design with a central figure that could be a symbol or a simplified human figure. Surrounding this central figure are some inscriptions in Greek or Latin, which are partially legible. The word "CON" is visible at the bottom, which likely refers to "Constantinopolis," the capital city of the Byzantine Empire.

The coin appears to be made of copper or bronze and shows signs of aging and corrosion, giving it a dark brown patina. The overall condition suggests it is an artifact of significant historical value.
