Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or a similar metal. Both sides show significant wear and patina consistent with age. A ruler in centimeters is on the right.

Coin Side 1 (Left):

  • Central Image: Features a somewhat stylized bust or portrait of a person. The figure is wearing some sort of crown or elaborate headdress. The features are worn but appear to be of a human face. The person is wearing some kind of robe or decorated garment.
  • Inscription: There appears to be an inscription surrounding the figure, although it is difficult to read due to the wear on the coin.
  • Design: The design elements are raised and textured, typical of cast or stamped coins.

Coin Side 2 (Right):

  • Central Image: Features a large, stylized letter "M" as the primary design element. Above the "M" is a cross. To either side of the M are the letters "A, N, N, O" on the left and "XIII" on the right. At the bottom are the letters "OVITO".
  • Design: The design is similar in style to the first side, with raised and textured elements.

Overall Context:

Given the style, wear, and inscription, it's likely that the coin is of ancient origin, possibly Roman or Byzantine. The letter "M" could represent a denomination or some other symbol of significance.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. Here is a detailed description of each side:

  1. Obverse (Left Side):

    • The obverse side features a bust of a figure, likely a ruler or an important person, facing forward.

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background. The coin on the left depicts a profile portrait of a person wearing a crown with intricate details, including a diadem and possibly a veil or decorative elements around the head. There are inscriptions around the edge of the coin, which appear to be in an ancient script, likely Latin or Greek, given the style of the writing.
