This image shows two sides of a Byzantine coin, likely a silver coin known as a scyphate, which has a bowl-like concave shape.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • Depicts a seated figure, likely Christ Pantokrator (Christ in majesty) based on similar Byzantine iconography.
  • He sits on a throne adorned with decorative elements. His halo is visible, indicating holiness or divinity.
  • Greek letters or symbols, such as a "Δ," surround the figure as part of inscriptions often found on Byzantine coins.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • Features two standing figures, possibly Byzantine rulers (co-emperors or emperor with a subordinate).
  • Each figure is wearing elaborate imperial garments and crowns, with detailed embellishments.
  • One of the figures is holding a scepter topped with a cross or orb, symbolizing authority and divine legitimacy.

The scale on the right side of the image provides measurements, highlighting the coin's relatively small size. The coin's worn appearance suggests it has considerable age and historical significance.

The image shows a Byzantine coin, known as a scyphate or cup-shaped coin, with detailed engravings on both sides. On the left side of the coin (obverse), there is an image of a seated figure, likely a ruler or emperor, adorned with a crown or halo, sitting on a throne.

On the right side of the coin (reverse), there are two standing figures, possibly soldiers or court officials, depicted with detailed robes and headgear. They appear to be holding long staffs or scepters, signifying authority or rank. The engravings, while worn and somewhat faded, reflect typical Byzantine artistic motifs, focusing on regal and religious iconography.

The background is black, accentuating the coin's metallic luster. To the far right, a scale in centimeters is visible, indicating the coin's relatively small size.
