The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely of Chinese origin. Here are the details:

  1. Front Side (Left):

    • The coin is circular with a square hole in the center.
    • There are Chinese characters inscribed around the square hole. The characters are read clockwise from the top as "五銖" (Wǔ Zhū), which translates to "five zhu." This indicates the coin's denomination.
    • The characters appear to be worn, suggesting the coin is old and has been in circulation.
  2. Back Side (Right):

    • The reverse side of the coin also has a square hole in the center.
    • There are no visible inscriptions on this side.
    • The surface appears worn and has some discoloration, indicating age and use.
  3. General Observations:

    • The coin shows signs of wear and corrosion, which is typical for ancient coins.
    • The presence of a square hole is characteristic of early Chinese coins, which were often strung together for convenience.
    • The scale on the right side of the image indicates the coin's size, though the exact measurement is not provided in this description.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-07-06

The image shows two ancient coins, likely from the same set or series, placed side by side against a black background. The coin on the left has a circular shape with a square hole in the center. The surface of the coin appears aged, with a patina that includes shades of brown, green, and orange, indicating significant wear and perhaps long-term exposure to the elements. The inscription on this coin is in Chinese characters, which read "正隆元宝" (Zhènglóng Yuánbǎo), meaning "Zhenglong Yuanbao." This suggests that the coin is a Chinese currency, and the Zhenglong Yuanbao was a type of coin used during the Jin Dynasty, specifically under the reign of Emperor Shizong.

The coin on the right is also circular but has a slightly irregular shape, possibly due to wear or manufacturing. The square hole in the center is centered but appears slightly worn. The surface of this coin also shows signs of aging and weathering, with similar patina colors. The inscription on this coin is not visible in the image, but given that it is from the same set, it is likely to be the same as the Zhenglong Yuanbao.

The image also includes a ruler on the right side, indicating the size of the coins in centimeters. This helps in assessing the scale and the dimensions of the ancient currency.
