The image shows two sides of a historical coin, likely of Byzantine origin.

  • Left Side (Obverse):

    • The coin features a prominent cross in the center, which is typical of Byzantine coins.
    • Surrounding the cross are inscriptions in Greek, which are partially visible. The text appears to be a combination of letters and possibly abbreviations, common on Byzantine coins.
    • The coin appears to be made of a metal alloy, possibly bronze or copper, given its color and patina.
  • Right Side (Reverse):

    • This side also has Greek inscriptions, which are more legible than those on the obverse.
    • The inscription reads "MICHAEL," which likely refers to a Byzantine emperor, possibly Michael I Rangabe or another emperor with the same name.
    • The letters are arranged in a circular pattern around the edge of the coin.

The overall condition of the coin suggests it is quite old, with visible wear and corrosion. The inscriptions and imagery are indicative of its historical and cultural significance, likely dating back to the Byzantine Empire.
