This image depicts two sides of an ancient coin against a black background. The coin has a brown, aged patina with traces of green oxidation.

  1. Left Side (Obverse): This side features the profile of a human figure, facing right, possibly an emperor or ruler. Surrounding the figure are engraved letters, though they are worn and partially unreadable. The face and bust details are faint but suggest traditional Roman or Byzantine styling.

  2. Right Side (Reverse): This side shows a large "M" in the center, which is a common denomination marker on Byzantine coins, indicating a value of 40 nummi (a unit of currency). Next to the "M" is a small star. Below the central design, faint, worn engravings may represent additional text or mint information.

A scale appears on the far right, indicating measurements in centimeters. This adds a sense of context for the coin's size.

There may be some additional markings or inscriptions at the bottom, but they are not entirely clear. The coin has a brownish patina with areas of green corrosion, suggesting it is made of a copper alloy and showing signs of age.

A vertical scale labeled "cm" is present on the right side of the image for size reference but the actual physical dimensions are not provided.

Qwen

The image shows two ancient coins placed on a dark background. The coins appear to be made of bronze and exhibit signs of patination, with a reddish-brown surface and areas of greenish patina, indicating they are very old.

Details of the Coins:

  1. Coin on the Left:

    • The coin has a circular shape with a slightly irregular edge.
    • The obverse (front) of the coin features a figure or a profile of a person, possibly a deity or a historical figure, facing to the right.
    • There is text around the edge of the coin, which appears to be in an ancient script, likely Roman or another ancient language.
    • The figure on the coin seems to be wearing a headpiece or helmet.
  2. Coin on the Right:

    • The coin also has a circular shape with a slightly irregular edge.
    • The reverse (back) of the coin features a large letter "M" in the center, with a small star or point above it.
    • There is additional text around the edge of the coin, which appears to be in an ancient script, similar to the obverse.

Scale:

  • There is a vertical ruler on the right side of the image, marked in centimeters. This suggests the image is intended for scale reference, helping to estimate the size of the coins.

Possible Identification:

  • Based on the features, the coins appear to be from the Roman Empire. The letter "M" on the reverse could indicate a mint mark, possibly "M" for "MCM" (Miletus, which was a major minting site in the ancient Roman Empire).
  • The obverse features include the phrase "AVGVSTAE," which is consistent with Roman coins minted under the rule of Augustus, as "AVGVSTUS" is the genitive form of "Augustus."

This image is likely a study or display of ancient Roman coins.
