The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely from the Roman era, based on the style and imagery. Here is a detailed description of each side:

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The coin features a profile bust of a person facing right.
  • The individual appears to have curly hair and a beard, which are typical features of Roman emperors or significant figures depicted on coins.

  • There are architectural elements in the background, suggesting a temple or a similar structure.
  • The details on this side are also somewhat worn, but the overall scene is discernible.
  • Similar to the obverse, there are greenish spots due to oxidation.

This image shows an ancient coin, likely of Roman or similar origin, displayed from both its obverse and reverse sides. The coin appears to be heavily worn and corroded, with significant patches of green oxidation (likely copper patina) and brownish discoloration, indicating age and exposure to the elements.

Obverse (Left):

  • The design appears to depict a profile portrait, possibly of a ruler or deity, with intricate details that are now somewhat obscured by corrosion.
  • The outline of the face, hair, and other features can still be made out despite the erosion.
  • The surface is uneven and shows signs of pitting and wear.

Reverse (Right):

  • The reverse side seems to feature an architectural or symbolic design, possibly a temple or structure with columns. This is a common motif in ancient coins.
  • There is text inscribed on the coin, but it is difficult to read due to the corrosion. It may include a title or reference to the issuing authority.
  • The green patina is more prominent on this side, particularly around the central design.

Additional Notes:

  • The coin is slightly irregular in shape, with some damage or wear at the edges, suggesting it has been in circulation for a long time or has been subject to environmental factors.
  • A scale is present in the image, indicating the size of the coin in centimeters, which helps in assessing its dimensions accurately.

This coin is likely of historical significance, possibly used for trade or as a symbol of power in ancient times. Its condition suggests it has been preserved for a considerable period, making it a valuable artifact for study.
