This image shows an ancient coin featuring markings and imagery on both sides.

  • Left side (obverse): Displays a profile portrait of a man facing right, possibly a Roman emperor or dignitary. Around the portrait, there is text or inscriptions, though parts are worn and difficult to decipher.

  • Right side (reverse): Depicts a figure standing, possibly a deity or allegorical representation. The figure appears to hold objects in their hands, and text surrounds the edges of the coin, similar to the obverse, but much of it is eroded and unclear.

The coin has a bronze or copper tone, and sections of it have visible wear and damage, with a small chip or indentation at the edge. Adjacent to the coin is a scale, marked in centimeters, providing a reference for its size.

The image shows two antique coins, likely ancient Roman or Greek, displayed against a solid black background. The coins are positioned next to each other.

The image shows two sides of an ancient Roman coin. The coin appears to be made of bronze or copper, given its color and patina.

  1. Obverse (Left Side):

    • The obverse side features a profile portrait of a person facing right. The details of the face are somewhat worn, but it is clear that the person has a laureate crown, which is indicative of an emperor or a significant figure in Roman history.
    • The inscription around the edge is partially legible. It reads "...AN...PI..." which could be part of the name and titles of the emperor depicted.
  2. Reverse (Right Side):

    • The reverse side depicts a standing figure, likely a deity or personification, holding a staff or scepter in the left hand and another object in the right hand.
    • The inscription around the edge reads "PROVIDENTIAE CAE..." which translates to "Providence of the Caesars." This suggests that the coin was issued to commemorate or promote the concept of providence or foresight as a virtue of the emperor.

The coin shows signs of wear and corrosion, which is typical for ancient coins that have been in circulation or buried for a long period. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the size of the coin, which appears to be relatively small, consistent with ancient Roman coinage.
