The image shows two sides of an ancient Roman coin set against a black background. On the left is the obverse (front) side, featuring the portrait of a man facing right. The figure likely represents a Roman emperor, wearing a laurel crown typically seen in coins of the time. The inscription around the portrait reads "IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG," identifying the emperor as Gordian III.

On the right is the reverse (back) side, depicting a standing figure, likely Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony. She holds objects in her hands (possibly a horn of plenty or a scepter), symbolizing unity and agreement. Surrounding the figure is the inscription "CONCORDIA."

A scale in centimeters is visible along the right edge, indicating the size of the coin for reference. The coin appears to be made of bronze or copper and exhibits signs of wear, characteristic of its age.
