  1. Left Side (Obverse):

    • Displays a seated figure, possibly a ruler or a saint, holding a staff or scepter.
    • The details around the figure appear worn, but there is a surrounding inscription.
  2. Right Side (Reverse):

The image shows two views of an ancient, corroded bronze coin against a black background. To the right of the coin is a ruler marked in centimeters for scale.

On the left, one side of the coin depicts a standing figure, possibly a saint or emperor, with a staff or scepter in hand.

The coin's surface has significant wear, with the details around the figure appearing faded and eroded.

On the right, the other side of the coin features a large 'M' at the center, likely representing a value or monetary denomination. Around the 'M' are other symbols, including a star-like symbol, a crescent moon, and what appear to be characters or a word written in a historical script, possibly Greek or Aramaic.

The coin is dark brown, and there is clear evidence of oxidation and age, including pitting and uneven coloration across both sides.
