This image showcases both the front (obverse) and back (reverse) of an ancient coin set against a black background. On the left side (obverse), a detailed profile portrait of a ruler or emperor is depicted, facing right and wearing a radiate crown or headdress. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in an ancient script, possibly Greek or Latin.

On the right side (reverse), the coin features concentric designs and inscriptions in the same script. The central text is enclosed by a circular border, while additional text decorates the outer perimeter. This area appears worn but is still discernible, indicating a historical object's age and use. A small indentation or discoloration is present near the top of both sides, likely a result of wear or damage over time.

A vertical scale in centimeters is visible on the far right, providing a sense of the coin's size. Its style and inscriptions suggest it may be from the Byzantine or Roman period, serving as an artifact of historical currency.
