This image shows two sides of an ancient Byzantine coin. The coin appears to be made of bronze and shows signs of aging, including corrosion and wear.

  • Left side (obverse): This side features a portrait of an individual, likely an emperor. The design is worn and partially obscured, making the facial features difficult to discern. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions in Greek or Latin lettering, which are also faded but confirm the coin’s origin as Byzantine.

  • Right side (reverse): This side shows a large letter "M," which is characteristic of Byzantine coinage and denotes a denomination (40 nummi or a follis). Surrounding the "M" are inscriptions, likely identifying the mint and issuing authority. Additional details, including small decorative marks or symbols, are visible but worn.

The dark background enhances the visual focus on the coin, while a scale in centimeters is included on the right for size reference, underscoring its small dimensions typically associated with ancient coins.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, specifically a Byzantine follis, that was used during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, who ruled from 527 to 565 CE. The coin has significant wear and corrosion, suggesting its age and historical use.

On the left side of the image, we see the obverse of the coin, which features a portrait of Emperor Justinian I. The portrait is heavily worn, making it difficult to distinguish facial details, but the general outline of a bust is visible. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription, likely the emperor's name and titles, which is also worn but partially legible.

On the right side of the image, we see the reverse of the coin, dominated by a large letter "M," which indicates the denomination of the coin (40 nummi). Around the "M" are additional inscriptions, including an indication of the mint and the year in the reign of the emperor. The reverse side also shows significant wear but retains some of its original inscription detail.

The scale to the right of the coin images indicates the coin's size at a few centimeters in diameter. This type of coin would have been a common medium of exchange in the Byzantine Empire.

The image shows two sides of an old, circular, tarnished metal piece, possibly a coin or a seal, displayed against a black background. A ruler is present on the right side of the image, suggesting the object's size.

On the left side, one side of the metal piece features what appears to be a faded or corroded human face or skull at the center. Encircling this central image are faint inscriptions in what seems to be Latin text, with letters visible like "SAINTVS" and "DNI." The metal surface has a brownish, copper-like hue with dark discoloration in certain areas.

On the right side, the opposite side of the metal piece displays a large, prominent letter "M" at the center. Similar to the other side, there are surrounding inscriptions, also in Latin, with visible words like "NOMINA." The color is more muted and darker compared to the other side, showing shades of gray and brown, which could be due to tarnishing or oxidation.

Both sides of the piece exhibit wear and tear, indicating their age and history. The overall appearance suggests an artifact of historical or archaeological interest.
