This image depicts two sides of an ancient gold Roman coin, known as an aureus.

The obverse (front) side of the coin features a profile portrait of a man with curly hair and a beard, facing right. Around the portrait is an inscription in Latin that reads, "L VERVS AVG ARMENIACUS," which stands for Lucius Verus Augustus Armeniacus, referring to Lucius Verus, a Roman Emperor who ruled from 161 to 169 AD and earned the title "Armeniacus" for his military successes in Armenia.

The reverse (back) side of the coin shows a detailed scene with figures. Three figures are depicted atop a raised platform or stage. The central figure appears to be seated and possibly wearing military attire, with the figure to the left standing and handing something to a soldier beneath the platform. The soldier standing below seems to be saluting or reaching out. The inscription around the image reads, "TR P VII IMP III COS II EX ARMEN DAT," which refers to the titles and accomplishments of Lucius Verus, indicating his tribunician power for the seventh time, his third acclamation as imperator, and his second consulate, along with a reference to the Armenian campaign (EX ARMEN DAT likely means "gifts given to Armenia").

Both sides of the coin are encircled by a dotted border, common in Roman coinage, and the overall color of the coin is a rich gold. To the right of the coin is a scale indicating its size, with each mark representing 1 cm.

The image shows two sides of an ancient gold coin with a ruler's face on one side and a scene with figures on the other.

On the left side of the image, there's the obverse of the coin featuring the profile of a man's head facing right. This side has a beaded border and the inscription around the head, which seems to be in Latin. The man's hairstyle is distinctive with curls around the forehead and the side of the face, and a short beard.

The right side of the image shows the reverse of the coin, with a more complex scene in which four figures are depicted. The central two figures are seated and appear to be engaged in conversation or some kind of interaction. The seated figure on the right seems to have an arm extended towards the left seated figure. Behind the central figures, there is a standing figure who appears to be a servant or an attendant, as suggested by the more modest attire and posture. In the foreground, there’s another standing figure facing towards the seated duo, possibly addressing them or offering something, as indicated by the raised arm. This side also has an inscription around the edge of the coin. The design is also enclosed within a beaded border similar to the other side.

There is a ruler to the right of the image for scale, showing measurements in centimeters from 0 to 2 cm, indicating the coin's size. The details of the coin are well-preserved, with all figures, inscriptions, and design elements clearly discernible.
