This image shows two sides of an ancient bronze or copper coin with a rich patina, indicating age and oxidation.

Left side (obverse):

  • The obverse features a stylized portrait of a figure, likely a ruler or emperor, depicted from the chest up.
  • The figure is wearing a robe with detailed folds and a circular clasp at the shoulder, suggesting a garment of importance.
  • The facial features are simple and abstract, consistent with coins of a historical period.
  • Surrounding the portrait is text written in capital letters, likely Latin or Greek, forming a circular inscription. Some of the letters are clear, while others may be worn or obscured.

Right side (reverse):

  • The reverse side contains text in multiple lines written in capital letters. The inscription, while somewhat worn, is legible in parts. It appears to denote titles, a name, or information related to the ruler or currency, potentially identifying the coin's origin, date, or mint.
  • There is no visible image on this side; the focus is solely on the engraved text.

The presence of a scale on the right (marked in centimeters) allows viewers to deduce the coin's relatively small size. This artifact reflects historical craftsmanship and numismatic significance.
