This image depicts a Byzantine copper coin, showcasing both its obverse and reverse sides.

• Obverse (left): The coin features a bust of an emperor, likely a Byzantine ruler, depicted in stylized detail. The emperor wears a crown and holds symbolic objects, such as a cross in one hand. Surrounding the figure is an inscription in Greek, typical of Byzantine coinage, enclosed within a dotted border.

• Reverse (right): The reverse highlights a large "M," which is a denominational mark indicating it is a follis (a Byzantine copper coin). Above the "M" is a cross, and surrounding it are inscriptions, including "ANNO" indicating the year of minting, along with Greek numerals and additional markings to signify the year in the reign of the emperor. Below the "M" are other inscriptions that likely denote the mint location (e.g., "CON" for Constantinople).

The coin has aged, with a warm brown patina and signs of wear indicative of its historical use and age. A ruler is visible along the right side for measurement purposes, further emphasizing its archaeological significance.

The image shows two sides of a Byzantine bronze coin known as a follis. On the left side, the obverse depicts a bust of Emperor Justinian I facing forward. He is portrayed wearing military attire, with armor and a helmet, and holding a globus cruciger (a globe surmounted by a cross) in his right hand. The inscription around the bust reads "DN IVSTINI-ANVS PP AVC," which stands for "Dominus Noster Iustinianus Perpetuus Augustus," meaning "Our Lord Justinian, the Eternal Augustus."

On the right side, the reverse of the coin displays the large letter "M," which is a denomination mark indicating the value of the coin as 40 nummi (a follis). The reverse also features other markings: "ANNO" (meaning "year") followed by the regnal year of Justinian's reign, and "CHI" indicating the mint. There is also a small cross above the "M" and other Greek and possibly Latin inscriptions around the symbol. The coin's color is a reddish-brown consistent with aged bronze, and the image includes scale markings on the right to indicate size.
