The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. The coin appears to be made of a dark metal, possibly bronze or copper, and is worn and corroded, indicating its age.

  1. Left Side (Obverse):

    • The design on this side is somewhat obscured due to wear and corrosion.
    • There appears to be a figure, possibly a person or deity, in the center.
    • Surrounding the figure, there are inscriptions, which are partially visible but difficult to read due to the condition of the coin.
  2. Right Side (Reverse):

    • This side features a more distinct design.
    • There is a prominent cross in the center, which suggests that the coin might be from a period or region influenced by Christianity.
    • Around the cross, there are inscriptions, likely in an ancient script, which are also partially visible but difficult to decipher due to wear.

The coin's condition indicates it has been in circulation for a significant amount of time or has been exposed to elements that have caused corrosion. The designs and inscriptions suggest it could be from a historical period, possibly medieval or earlier, and might have been used in a region where Christianity was prevalent.
