The image shows two sides of an ancient coin set against a black background. The coin appears to be made of metal and is heavily worn, indicating significant age.

  1. Obverse (Left Side):

    • The obverse side of the coin features an image of a seated figure. The figure is depicted facing forward, with a halo around the head, suggesting it is a religious or royal figure.
    • The figure appears to be holding an object, possibly a scepter or a cross, in the right hand.
    • There are inscriptions around the figure, but they are not clearly legible due to the wear and tear of the coin.
  2. Reverse (Right Side):

    • The reverse side of the coin shows a more abstract design. There is a central figure, possibly another religious or royal figure, with a halo.
    • Surrounding this figure is an intricate design that may include floral or geometric patterns.
