This image shows two sides of an ancient coin likely made of bronze or a similar copper alloy. Both sides are aged and feature a brownish, green patina indicating corrosion or weathering over time.

  • Left side (obverse): Displays a profile portrait of a human figure, possibly an emperor or monarch, facing right. The figure's head appears adorned with a laurel wreath, suggesting a classical Roman style. Surrounding the portrait are faint and partially eroded inscriptions, likely naming the ruler or providing additional identifying information.

  • Right side (reverse): Features a standing human figure, possibly holding an object (unclear due to wear). Surrounding this central figure are more inscriptions, which are partially legible and might refer to symbols of authority, titles, or Roman deities associated with the coin’s issuer. Several areas exhibit discoloration and wear.

The size markings on the right margin provide scale in centimeters. The coin's condition shows significant wear from age, yet enough detail remains for identification as a Roman or classical-era coin.
