Here's a description of the image:

Overall: The image features two gold coins, each with detailed engravings. They are set against a stark black background, which highlights their golden color and intricate designs. A centimeter ruler is positioned vertically along the right edge for scale.

Coin Details:

  • Coin 1 (Left): The obverse (front) side of the coin shows a detailed bust of a figure, likely a Roman emperor or dignitary. The figure has a crown, a stylized face, and a detailed neckline. The outer border of the coin is inscribed with text, but the specific letters are small and difficult to decipher.
  • Coin 2 (Right): The reverse (back) of the coin features a full-body depiction of a figure standing upright. The figure holds two objects, one in each hand, that may be symbols of authority (such as a cross, scepter, or orb). There are inscriptions around the image, with "CONOB" visible at the bottom, which is an abbreviation for "Constantinopolis obryzum," often seen on Byzantine gold coins.

Style and Context:

  • The coins' design and craftsmanship point to a Roman or Byzantine origin. The style of the depictions, the use of inscriptions, and the gold material are all characteristic of this era.
  • The image is likely a photograph taken for documentation, display, or research purposes. The careful lighting and the use of a plain background are common practices in such photography.
