The image shows both sides of an ancient coin or medallion. The object appears to be made of metal and has a round shape, although it looks slightly irregular and worn due to age.

On the left side of the image, the obverse of the coin features a raised depiction of a bust, likely representing a historical or religious figure.

This object is likely of historical significance, perhaps Byzantine given the style, and may have been used for ceremonial or monetary purposes.
