This image shows two sides of a Byzantine gold coin known as a "solidus" or "histamenon nomisma." The left side (obverse) depicts an enthroned religious figure, likely Jesus Christ, distinguished by a halo around his head, seated with detailed robes, holding a book, and raising his hand in blessing. The throne is ornately carved, and some additional decorative details can be seen on this side.

The right side (reverse) features two standing figures, likely representing Byzantine rulers or saints. The left figure is dressed in heavily detailed, ceremonial armor or imperial regalia, holding a staff or scepter, while the right figure is wearing flowing robes with a halo around their head. Both are facing forward, with an arch possibly symbolizing a divine or royal setting surrounding them.

The coin has a concave shape, which was common for Byzantine gold coins from this era, and is textured with visible scratches or wear, indicating its age and use. A size scale in centimeters is present along the right edge of the image to show the coin's dimensions.

The image shows two sides of a Byzantine gold coin known as a hyperpyron from the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. The coin has a concave, cup-like shape, which is characteristic of Byzantine coinage from this period.

On the left side (obverse) of the coin, there is a depiction of Christ seated on a throne. Christ is shown with a halo around his head, holding the Gospel in one hand and giving a blessing with the other.

On the right side (reverse) of the coin, there is an image of Alexios I Komnenos, the Byzantine emperor. He is depicted standing, clad in imperial regalia, and is bearded. To his right, the Virgin Mary stands with her hands raised, possibly in a gesture of blessing or protection. There is also a cross or labarum (a military standard) between the two figures.

The intricate details and religious symbolism are typical of Byzantine coinage, reflecting the empire's deep connection between state and church. The inscriptions that would accompany these images, though not visible here, would typically denote the emperor's name and titles, as well as referencing Christ or religious authority.
