This image showcases two sides of a golden coin on a black background, with a scale for size reference on the right side.

On the left side of the image, the coin depicts a bust portrait facing forward. The figure has a halo, an embellished collar and a robe with what appear to be clasp details, holding what seems to be a cross in the left hand. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in a script that looks like Greek.

On the right side of the image, a second portrait on the coin also faces forward, with a segmented, crown-like headpiece and a cross to the right of the figure. The attire seems richly decorated with patterns and possibly jewelry. There is also an inscription circling the edge in the same script as on the other side.

The size of the coin can be inferred in comparison to the scale provided, showing centimeter and millimeter measurements. The coin appears to be approximately 2 cm in diameter.

Left Side (Obverse):

  • The obverse side features a bust of a bearded man facing forward.
  • He is wearing a crown and ornate robes, indicative of an emperor or high-ranking official.
  • The man holds a cross scepter in his right hand and a globus cruciger (an orb with a cross) in his left hand, both symbols of imperial authority and Christian faith.

Right Side (Reverse):

  • The reverse side features a bust of a similarly bearded man, also facing forward and wearing a crown.

  • An inscription in Greek is also present around the edge of this side of the coin.

The coin's design and symbols suggest it was minted during the Byzantine period, likely representing an emperor.
