Here's a description of the image:

Overall: The image features two ancient coins set against a stark black background. A centimeter ruler is positioned on the right side of the image for scale.

Coin 1 (Left): This coin has a largely circular shape, though the edges appear somewhat worn or damaged. The surface has a mottled, brownish-gray appearance, suggesting age and wear. It has an embossed figure of a person wearing a crown on the face side, and appears to be of a religious or imperial nature.

Coin 2 (Right): Similar to the first, this coin shows more damage. It has a less well-defined, irregular shape. Its color and texture are the same as the first. It bears what appears to be stylized lettering or symbols, likely an inscription or design.

Background and Scale: The black background provides a strong contrast that highlights the coins and their details. The ruler on the side of the image indicates that the coins are quite small, likely less than an inch in diameter. The scale indicates the image to be between 4-5 centimeters in height.
