This image shows two sides of an ancient coin, photographed against a grey background with a scale indicator for size reference. On the left side of the image, the coin features a profiled bust of a figure wearing elaborate headgear, likely indicating a person of high status, such as a monarch or deity. The figure is surrounded by inscriptions, possibly providing information about the ruler or the era during which the coin was minted. The right side of the image shows the reverse of the coin. It depicts a full-standing figure holding a long cross in one hand and possibly an orb in the other, signifying power and authority. This figure is also surrounded by inscriptions and is enclosed within a beaded circle which further highlights the figure as the focal point. Both sides of the coin show signs of wear and age but retain significant detail and a gold color, indicating that the coin is made from a valuable metal, likely gold. The inscriptions are in a script suggestive of an ancient language, and the imagery and text combined would have served to communicate important messages about the authority and legitimacy of the issuing body. The style and iconography suggest that the coin could be from a Byzantine or early medieval European context. The scale rule provides a context for size with 1 cm increments, showing the coin's diameter is approximately between 2 and 2.5 cm.
