This image displays two sides of an ancient coin set against a black background. The coin appears to be bronze or a similar greenish patinated metal, suggesting age and oxidation.

The left side (obverse) shows what seems to be a bust, likely of a prominent figure such as an emperor or deity, with faint inscriptions along the outer edge. The figure's details, such as facial features or attire, are eroded but hint at a classic Roman or Greek style.

The right side (reverse) shows an indistinct figure seated on a throne or chair, possibly holding an object like a staff or scepter, which might suggest an association with authority or divinity. Its border also features some very faint inscriptions, though both image and text are worn and difficult to discern clearly. Adjacent to the right coin edge is a scale in centimeters to indicate size.

Overall, this artifact appears to be a heavily eroded historical coin, likely from an ancient civilization.

The image shows an ancient coin displayed against a black background. The coin appears to be made of a copper or bronze alloy and exhibits a greenish patina, indicating its age and oxidization. The coin is shown from both sides:

  1. The left side of the image depicts one face of the coin, which features the profile of a person's head, likely a Roman emperor, facing to the right. The head is adorned with a laurel wreath or a similar headpiece. Around the perimeter, there is an inscription, but it is largely worn and difficult to decipher due to the coin's condition.

  2. The right side of the image shows the reverse side of the coin. This side has an engraved figure, possibly a person seated on a chair or throne, with more inscription around the edge. Similar to the other side, the details are faint, making it challenging to identify specific symbols or text clearly.

Next to the coin image on the right, there is a vertical scale likely indicating the size of the coin in centimeters, though the scale itself is not labeled with numbers.
