This image depicts both sides of an ancient, worn coin displayed against a black background. The coin appears to be made of bronze or copper, with a dark, aged patina.

On the left side (obverse), the coin features the faint profile of an individual, potentially a ruler or emperor, facing left. The details are significantly worn, making identification difficult, though the general shape suggests a bust. The edge shows remnants of illegible inscriptions.

On the right side (reverse), the letters "SC" are prominently visible in the center, which may stand for "Senatus Consulto," a common marking on Roman coins indicating its approval by the Senate. Surrounding "SC" are traces of lettering, likely the inscription providing context or authority of the coin, though these have eroded over time and are not clearly legible.

Both sides of the coin have a small circular hole near the top, suggesting it might have been repurposed as a pendant or ornament. A scale marked in centimeters is visible along the far right edge of the image for reference.

The image shows two sides of an ancient copper Roman coin, known as an as and specifically a divus Nerva as. Both sides of the coin have a small hole punched near the top edge, likely for suspending it as jewelry or for other purposes.

The left side of the image displays the obverse of the coin, which is quite worn but shows the profile of a head, presumably of Emperor Nerva, facing right. The text around the edge is not fully legible due to wear, but would typically be something like "DIVVS NERVA."

The right side of the image shows the reverse of the coin. This side is also worn but more legible, displaying the letters "S C", which stand for "Senatus Consulto" indicating that the coin was struck by decree of the Senate. There is lettering around the edge, likely describing the coin as a tribute to deified Emperor Nerva, typically reading "FORTUNA AUGUSTI / S C".

A scale lines the right side of the image, detailing the size of the coin in centimeters, likely for archaeological or historical record-keeping purposes.

The image shows two sides of an ancient, worn metal coin or token. Both sides have a hole near the top, suggesting it was likely used as a pendant or similar ornament.

1. Left Side (Obverse):

   • The surface appears heavily worn and corroded, making it difficult to discern any specific details or inscriptions.
   • There are faint markings, but they are too indistinct to identify any clear imagery or text.

2. Right Side (Reverse):

   • This side is also worn but retains more visible details.
   • There is a central symbol that resembles the Hindu sacred syllable "Om" (ॐ).
   • Surrounding the central symbol are inscriptions, which appear to be in an ancient script, possibly Sanskrit or a related script.
   • The inscriptions are partially legible but heavily worn, making it challenging to read them clearly.

The overall condition of the coin indicates significant age and use. The presence of the "Om" symbol and the script suggests it might be of Hindu origin, possibly used for religious or spiritual purposes. The scale on the right side of the image provides a sense of the coin's size, indicating it is relatively small.

The image shows two views of an ancient coin or token, presented side by side against a black background. The object appears to be circular with a hole at the top, suggesting it was meant to be hung or worn.

On the left side of the image, the coin's surface is mostly smooth, with a few small imperfections and some discoloration, indicating age and possibly wear. The right side of the image shows the same coin from a different angle, revealing a larger, more visible inscription or marking that reads "SC." This might be an abbreviation or a symbol significant to the object's origin or purpose.

The object has a dark brown and black patina, which is common for metal artifacts that have been exposed to the elements or buried for a long time. The patina gives the object a weathered appearance, which is typical for historical artifacts that have aged over centuries.

The coin appears to be quite small, as indicated by the scale bar on the far right side of the image, which is marked in centimeters. This suggests that the coin is likely to be a small artifact, possibly a token or a very small coin from an ancient civilization.

This image shows two views of an ancient Roman bronze coin, likely a token or medallion, known as an "as" or "sestertius," though its specific denomination is unclear. Here's a detailed description:

1. Material and Condition:

   • The coin is made of bronze, a metal alloy composed primarily of copper and tin, which has oxidized over time.
   • The surface is heavily corroded, showing significant patina and weathering, indicating its age and prolonged exposure to environmental elements.
   • The patina includes a mix of dark brown, reddish-brown, and black tones, with some areas appearing lighter due to variations in oxidation.

2. Shape and Size:

   • The coin is roughly circular, though the edges are irregular due to wear and possible damage during its long history.
   • A small hole is present at the top of each side, suggesting it may have been used as a pendant or strung on a cord.
   • A scale is visible on the right side of the image, indicating the coin's diameter is approximately 2 centimeters.

3. Obverse (Front) Side:

   • The obverse side, shown on the left, is relatively plain with minimal discernible details due to the corrosion.
   • There are no clear inscriptions or images visible, but the coin's surface is rough and textured from oxidation.

4. Reverse (Back) Side:

   • The reverse side, shown on the right, has more visible features.
   • The most prominent feature is the inscription "SC," which stands for "Senatus Consulto," a phrase meaning "by decree of the Senate." This was a common inscription on Roman coins, indicating that the coin's issuance was authorized by the Senate.
   • The "SC" is raised and stands out against the corroded background, though the rest of the surface remains rough and dark.

5. Historical Context:

   • The "SC" inscription suggests this coin was produced during the Roman Republic or early Roman Empire, a period when the Senate still had significant authority in coinage matters.
   • The condition and style of the coin suggest it is from the early to mid-Republic period, possibly between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE.

Overall, this coin is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the economic and political systems of ancient Rome. Its condition, though worn, still provides evidence of its age and the materials and techniques used in its production.
