The image showcases both sides of an ancient coin.

  • Obverse (left side): It features a worn depiction of a figure, likely a religious or royal icon, surrounded by a faint circular border. The details are weathered, but it appears to show someone in robes, possibly holding an object. The surface exhibits a reddish patina indicative of oxidation or age.

  • Reverse (right side): Contains text in a blocky, square layout, possibly an inscription in a historical script like Byzantine Greek or Latin. The letters are bold but eroded, and there is a symbol or decoration at the bottom center. The coin has a greenish-bronze hue consistent with aged copper-based alloy.

To the right of the image, a scale is visible, indicating a rough measurement of the coin's size in centimeters. Its archaic design suggests its use in a historical context, possibly as currency or a token during medieval or Byzantine times.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents two sides of what appears to be an ancient coin or seal, laid against a black background and paired with a centimeter ruler to indicate scale.

Left Side:

  • The left side features an image that is very worn. It's difficult to make out details clearly. The faint image seems to depict a figure, possibly a person, and it is framed within a roughly circular design.

Right Side:

  • The right side of the coin/seal is also worn but features an inscription. The inscription is arranged in horizontal lines. While the letters are weathered, they are partially decipherable. They read, ISXIS / IASULE / IASVIL . The bottom shows a circle and a half-moon like mark.

General Observations:

  • The object is circular and appears to be made of metal (likely bronze or a similar alloy) with a dark, aged patina. The wear and oxidation suggest the object's antiquity.
  • The level of detail preserved is low, indicating the item has been subjected to considerable environmental wear and tear over time.

Reverse (Right Side):

  • The reverse side of the coin contains an inscription. The letters are arranged in a cross pattern and appear to read "IHS IASILE IASILE IASILE."
