This image shows both sides of an ancient coin.

  • Left side (obverse): It features a human figure seated on a chair or throne, facing forward. The figure appears to have a halo or circular design around its head, suggesting a religious or sacred significance—possibly representing a saint or ruler. The figure holds an indistinct object, and the design is enclosed by decorative border elements, giving the coin an ornate appearance.

  • Right side (reverse): Contains inscriptions in blocky, stylized lettering. The text appears to be arranged across multiple lines and could be identifying the minting authority, ruler, or the denomination of the coin. There's a dotted border encircling the text, adding symmetry to the design.

The coin is dark and worn, with its edges irregular, indicating its age or possible handmade nature. A measure guide labeled in centimeters is visible along the right edge of the image for scale.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. On the left side of the image, the coin features an image of a seated figure, possibly a religious or royal figure, as indicated by the halo around the head. The figure is adorned with stylized robes and halos, common for medieval Byzantine coins. The design is surrounded by a pattern of dots forming a border.

This inscription translates to "Jesus Christ, King of Kings" in Greek, a typical motif for Byzantine coins. The background is similarly filled with dots forming a border.

The coin appears to be made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or copper, and shows some signs of wear, suggesting it's quite old. There is a scale on the right side of the image indicating size in centimeters, helping to give context to the coin's dimensions.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows two sides of a dark, likely antique coin against a black background. A ruler with centimeter markings is visible on the right side.

One side of the coin features a roughly engraved or stamped image of a figure. The figure appears to be seated with a halo or aura around the head. The figure is holding something in their lap.

The opposite side of the coin displays what appear to be inscribed letters, possibly in Latin or another ancient script. It is laid out in what looks like a grid-like pattern. The letters appear worn and are challenging to decipher clearly, but include letters like "I," "S," "L," and "E," repeated in various rows.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents two sides of an ancient coin, likely made of bronze or a similar metal. Both sides have aged, with a dark patina and areas of rust.

Obverse (Left):

  • The coin's obverse features a central figure, possibly a religious or royal depiction. The figure appears to be seated and wearing some form of attire. A halo appears above the figure's head. The details are somewhat worn, making precise identification difficult.
  • Surrounding the central figure is an ornate pattern.

Reverse (Right):

  • The reverse side displays inscriptions in a blocky, archaic script. The lettering is arranged around a central point. Some of the letters have decorative elements.
  • A line of dots encircles the outer edge of this side, perhaps as a decorative border.

Additional observations:

  • The coin's edges are irregular, suggesting the coin was likely hand-struck.
  • A ruler for measurement is located on the right side, indicating the scale.

Based on the style and likely the inscriptions (though hard to decipher without expertise), this coin appears to be a historical artifact, potentially from the Byzantine Empire.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. Here is a detailed description of each side:

  1. Obverse (Left Side):

    • The coin features a figure standing facing forward.
    • The figure appears to be wearing a robe or long garment, with a halo around the head, suggesting it might be a depiction of a saint or a religious figure.
    • The figure holds an object in each hand, which might be a cross or a staff in the right hand and possibly a book or another object in the left hand.
    • There are inscriptions around the figure, but they are not entirely clear due to the wear and age of the coin.
  2. Reverse (Right Side):

    • The reverse side of the coin contains inscriptions arranged in a cross pattern.
    • The letters "IC XC" are visible in the center of the cross. These are abbreviations for "Jesus Christ" in Greek.
    • The surrounding inscriptions appear to be in Greek as well, but they are partially worn and difficult to read completely.

The coin appears to be made of a metal, likely bronze or copper, and shows significant signs of wear, indicating it is quite old. The presence of religious symbols and figures suggests it could be a Byzantine coin or from a similar era where Christian iconography was prevalent on coinage.
