The image shows two ancient coins, likely made of bronze, placed on a white background. The coins have a round shape with a slightly raised edge. The surface of the coins is worn and weathered, with visible scratches and marks. The inscriptions on the coins are in Greek, with one coin displaying a cross symbol in the center and the other coin displaying a cross symbol on the right side. The inscriptions on the coins are difficult to read due to the worn surface, but they appear to be religious or historical in nature.

The image shows two weathered, circular objects that appear to be ancient coins or seals. Both are dark gray/brown in color, with surfaces that are rough and textured, suggesting age and exposure to the elements.

The object on the left has an inscription that seems to feature Greek letters surrounding a cross-like symbol. The letters are worn but appear to be embossed or carved into the surface.

The object on the right features an inscription in what appears to be the same Greek script.

Next to the object on the right is a white and black ruler. The whole setup is on an off-white background.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents two ancient-looking, circular objects, likely seals or possibly small coins, placed side-by-side against a plain white background. Both objects are heavily weathered, displaying a rough, textured surface with visible wear and discoloration. They are a dark gray color, possibly lead or a similar metal that has oxidized over time.

On the left, the object features a distinct cruciform design at the center with Greek lettering. Around the cross and in the spaces, there is more text. The central cross is prominent and well-defined, with the surrounding inscriptions likely providing additional details or religious context.

The object on the right also displays what appears to be lettering, though the characters are somewhat worn. The letters are arranged in rows.

A ruler marked with black and white segments can be seen in the right-hand corner of the image, providing a scale to measure the dimensions of the object. The contrast between the smooth background and the textured artifacts emphasizes the ancient, historical nature of the items.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin or seal, likely made of clay or metal. The coin appears to be circular and has inscriptions on both sides.

  1. Left Side:

    • The design features a prominent cross in the center, which is a common symbol in Christian iconography.
    • Surrounding the cross are letters, which appear to be in an ancient script, possibly Greek or a similar alphabet.
    • The letters are arranged in a circular pattern around the cross.
  2. Right Side:

    • This side also has inscriptions in an ancient script, similar to the left side.
    • The text is arranged in a circular manner, filling most of the surface of the coin.
    • The letters are more densely packed compared to the left side.

The coin's design and inscriptions suggest it may have historical or religious significance, possibly from the Byzantine era or another period where Christian symbolism was prevalent. The exact meaning of the inscriptions would require further study by an expert in ancient scripts and languages.
