The image shows two ancient coins against a black background. Both coins have a greenish-brown patina, suggesting age and oxidation typical of ancient bronze or copper coins.

The coin on the left features text around its perimeter. There is no design shown due to the obscured face.

The coin on the right also features text around its perimeter, which includes the inscription "S C" at the bottom. This coin depicts a seated figure who appears to be holding a staff or scepter in the right hand and extending the left arm, suggesting it might be an image of a deity or notable historical figure from the Roman era. The presence of the "S C," which stands for "Senatus Consulto," indicates that this might be a Roman sestertius or an as, a denomination of ancient Roman coins.

Both coins are photographed in a manner that showcases their surface relief and inscriptions clearly, providing details useful for numismatic analysis. A vertical measurement scale in centimeters is present on the right side of the image, providing a reference for size.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-06-30

The image shows two ancient coins placed side by side against a black background. On the left is the obverse (front) of the coin, and on the right is the reverse (back). Both coins have a greenish patina, indicating they are likely made of bronze and have aged over time.

The obverse coin features a profile of a man with a beard, facing to the left. Surrounding the profile are Latin inscriptions that read "IMP CORNELIANVS FLAVS AVG," which translates to "Emperor Cornelius Flavius Avgustus." This indicates that the coin is likely a Roman denarius minted during the reign of a Roman emperor named Cornelius Flavius Avgustus, who is likely Flavius Valerius Cornelius Gratianus, a co-emperor who ruled the Western Roman Empire.

The reverse coin depicts a figure standing on a pedestal, holding a staff and what appears to be a shield. Surrounding the figure are more Latin inscriptions, which likely provide additional details about the coin's origin and the reign of the emperor depicted. The figure on the reverse is also a bust, facing to the left, and appears to be wearing a toga.

The coins are displayed next to a ruler in centimeters on the right side of the image, providing a sense of their size. The ruler helps to emphasize the small scale of the coins, typical for Roman denarii, which were a common form of Roman currency.
