This image depicts two sides of an ancient coin displayed against a black background with a measurement scale on the right side.

  • Left side (Obverse): The coin shows the bust of an individual wearing a crown or headdress, possibly a ruler or religious figure. The figure appears to hold a staff or scepter, with faint inscriptions around the rim. The surface shows significant corrosion with areas of green patina and wear, indicating age and exposure.

  • Right side (Reverse): The coin features a prominent letter "M," possibly denoting a denomination or symbol significant to the issuing authority. Surrounding the "M" are inscriptions, including "CON" at the bottom, potentially referencing "Constantinople," a minting location. Additional symbols, letters, and designs accompany the central elements. Like the obverse, this side also shows heavy wear and green corrosion spots.

The coin suggests it is Byzantine in origin, possibly a bronze follis, reflecting its historical and cultural significance.

There is a scale located along the right side of the image denoting the size of the coin in centimeters.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-06-30

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely of Byzantine origin, based on the style of the inscription and the figure depicted.

  • Obverse (Front Side): The coin features a bust of a person, possibly a ruler or emperor, facing right. The figure is wearing a crown or headdress, and the coin is partially covered in a reddish-brown patina, indicating age and oxidation. There is an inscription around the edge of the coin, which is difficult to fully decipher but appears to include letters from an ancient script, likely Greek. The patina is uneven, with patches of green corrosion visible.

  • Reverse (Back Side): The reverse side of the coin displays a large, bold letter "Λ" (lambda) at the top, which is a common symbol in ancient Greek coins. Below the lambda is the inscription "CON" followed by additional letters that are partially visible and worn. The patina is similar to the obverse, with green corrosion and a reddish-brown tone. The lettering is also affected by the corrosion.

Given the features, the coin could date from the Byzantine Empire, which used such symbols and inscriptions. The lambda symbol was particularly associated with the Byzantine Empire. The size and visible features suggest it is a small denomination, possibly a nummus or a similar coin.
