This image shows both sides of an ancient coin, likely Roman due to its design and style.

  • Left Side (Obverse): It features a profile portrait of a man, probably an emperor, wearing a laurel wreath on his head. Surrounding his portrait is a circular inscription in Latin, possibly his name and titles.

  • Right Side (Reverse): It depicts a standing figure, possibly a deity or allegorical representation, holding an object in each hand (possibly a staff and a globe or other items). There is additional Latin text surrounding the figure and a symbol or letter, potentially marking its mint or denomination.

The color and wear suggest the coin is made of bronze or a copper alloy and has aged significantly over time. On the right side of the image is a scale in centimeters, which helps gauge the coin's size.

The image displays two views of a coin against a dark background. On the left side, we see one face of the coin which features a profile portrait of a man facing right, wearing a laurel wreath, with an inscription around the edge. This is likely a Roman Emperor, as the style and iconography are indicative of ancient Roman coins.

The right side shows the opposite face of the coin, featuring a standing figure, also facing right, possibly holding a staff or object in one hand and with some symbology around the figure. There is additional text visible around the perimeter of this side.

To the right of the image, there are scale markings indicating measurements in centimeters, which suggest the coin is relatively small. The coin appears to be aged and has a patina, possibly bronze or copper in composition.
