This image depicts a gold coin, likely from the Byzantine Empire given its artistry and style. On the left side (obverse), there's a portrait of an emperor wearing military attire and a helmet adorned with jewels, indicating a depiction of leadership and authority. Surrounding the figure is an inscription, which is typical for coins of this period, likely detailing the ruler's name or title in Latin or Greek.

On the right side (reverse), the coin shows a seated figure, possibly representing Christ or another sacred deity, alongside a smaller standing figure, which may represent a ruler or saint. The seated figure holds a cross, signifying religious symbolism, while the standing figure carries a staff or banner. This emphasizes the role of religion intertwined with imperial rule during its era. Surrounding the image is additional text. A scale on the right edge indicates precise measurements in centimeters, suggesting the coin's size is small, consistent with ancient currency. The dark background highlights the coin's metallic sheen and fine details.
