The image shows two sides of an old, bronze coin or medallion set against a black background. There is a centimeter scale on the right. The coin is tarnished and shows significant wear.

The first side depicts a stylized, Byzantine-era depiction of a man, possibly an emperor or saint, wearing a crown and ornate clothing. His face is worn, but the general details are visible. There's a cross visible to the right of the man's head. The image is enclosed by some type of lettering or design that wraps around the perimeter of the coin. There is also a small hole near the upper edge.

The second side features a large letter "M" dominating the center, surmounted by a cross. To the left and right of the "M" are other symbols or letters that are not entirely clear due to wear. At the bottom of the coin, the letters "CON" are visible. Like the other side, there is also a small hole near the bottom edge.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows two sides of a well-worn, circular bronze coin against a black background. The coin has an aged, brownish-green patina, indicating its age. Both sides of the coin have a circular hole near the top, presumably made for wearing it as a pendant or decoration.

Side 1 (Obverse):

  • This side displays the bust of a person, likely an emperor or ruler. The figure is depicted in profile, wearing a crown or headdress and a decorated garment. There's a cross held in the right hand.
  • There's an inscription surrounding the figure and cross, which is faded and difficult to read but appears to be in Greek characters.

Side 2 (Reverse):

  • The reverse side features a large "M" in the center, which probably represents the Roman numeral for 40 (likely referring to a unit of currency).
  • To the right of the "M" are the letters "Χ" and further characters.
  • At the bottom of the coin, the abbreviation "CON" is visible, indicating this coin was made at the mint of Constantinople.

Overall, the coin is an example of Byzantine numismatics.
