This image depicts a Byzantine coin shown from two sides, the obverse and reverse.

Obverse (left side of the image): The coin features two seated figures, likely Emperor Justinian II and another significant figure such as Christ, which was common in Byzantine iconography. The figures are shown in frontal view, adorned with halos, and possibly holding scepters or crosses, symbolizing authority and divinity.

Reverse (right side of the image): The reverse showcases a large "M", a standard marking on Byzantine coins indicating the denomination of "40 nummi" (a follis). Various inscriptions can be seen surrounding the "M," including "ANNO" (year) and additional letters that may signify the mint location (CON for Constantinople). A small cross is positioned above the "M."

The measurements provided on the right side of the photo in centimeters suggest the scale of the coin, which is small and fits neatly into the palm. The coin overall has a weathered appearance, showing wear from age and use.

Coin 1 (Left):

  • The coin is oval-shaped, and its edges have noticeable damage.

Coin 2 (Right):

  • The inscription "ANNO CON" is arranged around the "M". This would likely indicate the mint mark and a date.
  • The edges are also damaged.

Additional Details:
