This image shows both sides of an ancient Byzantine coin against a black background. On the left side of the image is the obverse of the coin, which features a bust portrait of an emperor wearing a crown and ornate clothing. The figure is surrounded by faint inscriptions, which are typical of Byzantine coinage and often include the names and titles of the ruler. A small cross can be seen near the emperor's shoulder.

On the right side is the reverse of the coin, dominated by the large letter "M," a common feature of Byzantine bronze coins, indicating the denomination (often 40 nummi). Surrounding the "M" are various markings and inscriptions, including a cross above the letter and other symbols or words, which may include numerical or mint marks indicating the coin's place of origin or year it was struck.

The coin is made of a copper or bronze alloy and shows signs of aging, such as wear and corrosion. A scale is seen on the far-right edge of the image to show the size of the coin in centimeters.

Here's a description of the image:

The image displays two sides of a Byzantine coin. The coin is circular with a brown, aged appearance, suggesting it's an ancient artifact.

  • Obverse (Left Side):

    • Shows a bust of a ruler facing forward. The ruler is wearing a crown or headdress. The face is simple, with basic facial features.
    • Around the bust is an inscription, which appears to be in Greek. The letters are small, but can be identified.
    • The coin's edge is slightly uneven, indicating wear and age.
  • Reverse (Right Side):

    • Features a large letter "M" in the center, a symbol commonly found on Byzantine coins.
    • The letter "M" is flanked by other letters, also in Greek. Some of the letters seem to represent the letters A, N, E, and the Roman numeral "XII", and indicate the value of the coin.
    • Around the M, there are inscriptions, also in Greek.
    • The coin also features the same aged, worn appearance as the obverse.
