This image shows two sides of a bronze Byzantine coin. On the left side (obverse), there is a depiction of Emperor Justinian I. He is shown wearing a crown and ceremonial robes, holding a cross in his right hand. Surrounding the figure is text in Latin, reading "DN IVSTINI" (Dominus Justinianus, meaning "Lord Justinian").

On the right side (reverse), there is a large "M" at its center, a common feature of Byzantine bronze coins signifying the denomination (40 nummi or a follis). Above the "M" is a cross, and surrounding it are inscriptions: "ANNO" (year), the regnal year to the right in Roman numerals "XII" (12), and "NIK" below, indicating the mint location, Nicomedia. The coin exhibits patches of green patina, indicative of its age and material.

The image shows both sides of an ancient coin, likely from the Byzantine Empire. On the left side is the obverse of the coin, featuring a bust of a figure wearing a crown or helmet, which appears to be Emperor Justinian I. The figure is holding a cross, and the inscription around the edge reads "DN IVSTINIANVS PP AV," which is an abbreviated form of Latin for "Our Lord Justinian, Perpetual Augustus."

On the right side is the reverse of the coin. It prominently displays a large "M" in the center, which represents the denomination (40 nummi or a "follis"). Surrounding the "M" are various inscriptions including "ANNO" (year) on the left and year markers on the right, with the year "XII" depicted vertically. Beneath the "M," it reads "NIK," indicating the mint, which is Nicomedia.

The coin has a patina of green corrosion, typical of ancient bronze or copper coins, and there is a measurement scale in centimeters on the far right side of the image.

This appears to be an ancient Byzantine coin showing both its obverse (front) and reverse (back) sides. The obverse features an imperial portrait with a crown or diadem and crosses visible on either side. The reverse side shows a large letter "M" which was typical of Byzantine bronze coinage, specifically the 40 nummi or follis denomination. The coin shows some green patina, which is common for ancient bronze coins due to oxidation over time. The lettering around the edges appears to be in Greek, though it's not entirely clear in this image. The coin appears to be well-preserved considering its age, with clear details still visible on both sides. A measurement scale is visible on the right side of the image.

Meta Llama

The image presents a close-up view of two ancient coins, set against a black background and accompanied by a ruler for scale.

The coin on the left features a circular shape with a green patina, indicating its age. It displays a figure wearing a crown, adorned with a cross in their right hand and a scepter in their left. The inscription "MONO" is visible above the figure's head, while "THEO" is written below. The coin's design suggests it may be from the Byzantine Empire, although the exact date and denomination are unclear.

The coin on the right also has a circular shape and a green patina. It bears the inscription "M" in large letters, accompanied by smaller letters that read "ANNO" and "XII." The presence of these inscriptions implies that the coin may have been minted during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, who ruled from 527 to 565 AD. The "M" could represent the emperor's name or initials, while the "ANNO" and "XII" indicate the year of minting, which would be 12 years into Justinian's reign.

Overall, the image provides a detailed view of these ancient coins, offering insights into their design, materials, and potential historical context.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, set against a black background. The coin appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, and has a noticeable green patina, likely from oxidation over time. The right side of the image contains a ruler with centimeter markings running vertically.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows two sides of a Byzantine bronze coin. Both sides are dark brown with green verdigris in some areas.

  • Obverse (left side): Features a bust of a figure facing forward, wearing a crown or diadem. The figure appears to be holding a scepter or cross-topped object in the left hand and a cross in the right. The legend around the bust appears to be partially visible, with "CONSTANTINI" being readable.

  • Reverse (right side): Displays the large letter "M" with the letters "A", "N", "N" on the left side. On the bottom there is the inscription "NIK". Above the "M" is a cross. On the right side the number “XII” is present.

A black background emphasizes the coin's details, and a ruler is visible on the right for scale. The coin appears to be quite old, given its color and the presence of verdigris.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-07-07

The image shows two sides of a historical coin against a black background. On the left side of the coin, there is a portrait of a person wearing a crown and holding a cross, which is a common motif on coins from the Byzantine Empire. The inscription around the portrait includes the name "Constantinopolis" and other Greek characters, which signifies the city of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
