The image shows two sides of what appear to be an old, bronze Byzantine coin against a black background. A ruler is placed to the right side of the coin, presumably to show the coin's size.

Side one of the coin has a stylized image of a person facing forward. They appear to be wearing some sort of helmet or head covering, and they have hair that falls to their shoulders. The person is wearing a toga or some other sort of cloth garb. To the left of the person, there is a cross-like figure with a small square on top. Along the edge of the coin, there appears to be lettering written in Latin.

Side two of the coin features a large, stylized letter "M" in the center. Inside the "M" at the bottom is an "O" with a line going through it. There is the letter "N" in the two top right corners. Around the "M," there are stars placed evenly. The coin is slightly worn.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows two sides of an ancient bronze coin, likely Byzantine.

  • Obverse (Left): Depicts a bust of a person (likely an Emperor) facing forward, wearing a crown. There is an inscription around the edge, most of which is present. There is a cross in the upper left. The coin has a round shape and some wear and tear, including a few small chips.

  • Reverse (Right): Shows a large letter "M" flanked by smaller symbols, and letters on either side. There is an inscription around the edge. The coin is also round and shows some wear and tear.

The coin's color is a dark bronze, with some patches of a green patina from age. The background is black, which makes the details of the coin stand out. A ruler is placed on the right side to provide a sense of scale.

The image depicts both sides of an ancient coin, likely from the Byzantine Empire.

On the left side (obverse):

  • The coin features a bust of a figure, likely an emperor, facing forward.
  • The figure is adorned with a crown and wears a traditional Byzantine garment.
  • There are Greek letters around the bust, which appear to spell out a name or title, typically indicative of the ruler's identity.

On the right side (reverse):

  • The coin displays a monogram or a combination of Greek letters, which often represent the initials of the emperor or a religious phrase.
  • There is a cross in the center, which is a common motif in Byzantine coins, signifying the Christian faith of the empire.
  • The design is surrounded by a border of dots.

The coin appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, given its brownish color and patina. The condition of the coin suggests it is quite old, with visible wear and some corrosion. The scale on the right side of the image indicates the coin's size, though the exact measurement is not clear from the image alone.
