This image shows two sides of a heavily worn and corroded coin set against a black background with a scale for measurement on the right. The coin appears to be made of copper or a similar metal, as indicated by its reddish-brown and green surface, likely due to oxidation and age.

On the left, one side of the coin shows faint and indistinct markings including a possible portrait or figure in the center, surrounded by illegible inscriptions due to wear. On the right, the reverse side features a clearer set of inscriptions, though portions remain difficult to read, and some letters can still be discerned. The edges of the coin are irregular, with apparent signs of aging or damage.

This coin may be historical, possibly medieval or ancient, given its condition and design.

On the left side of the image, the obverse of the coin features a worn portrait of a person, possibly a historical figure, with a crown or helmet, surrounded by partially legible text along the edge. The portrait is not very distinct due to the coin’s age and corrosion.

On the right side of the image, the reverse of the coin shows some letters in what looks like a Latin script, although they are difficult to fully distinguish due to wear. The letters are arranged horizontally across the coin.

The coin appears to be ancient, potentially from a historical civilization such as the Roman or Byzantine empires. A scale is visible next to the right side of the image, indicating measurements in centimeters, but it does not provide a specific reference for the size of the coin itself in this view.

Mistral Pixtral

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. Both sides are heavily worn and corroded, making the details difficult to discern. The coin appears to be made of a bronze or copper alloy, which has oxidized over time, giving it a dark, reddish-brown color with patches of greenish patina.

On the left side (obverse), there are faint remnants of what appears to be a profile or a bust, likely of a ruler or a deity, but the details are obscured by wear and corrosion. There are also some inscriptions around the edge, but they are not clearly legible.

On the right side (reverse), there are some symbols and possibly more inscriptions, but again, the details are hard to make out due to the coin's condition. The coin has a scale bar on the right side of the image, indicating its size, though the exact measurement is not specified.

Overall, the coin's age and heavy wear suggest it could be from an ancient civilization, but without clearer details or context, it is difficult to identify its specific origin or historical significance.

Qwen

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct on 2025-06-30

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin against a black background. The coin appears to be made of a material that has oxidized, giving it a dark, reddish-brown patina. The surface is uneven and has a rough texture with some spots that seem to be corrosion or wear.

On the left side of the coin, there is an image that appears to be a profile of a person's head, facing to the right. The details of the figure are somewhat worn and difficult to make out clearly, but it seems to be a human face with features like eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

On the right side of the coin, there is a series of letters that seem to be in Latin script. The inscription is partially worn and some letters are difficult to decipher fully, but it reads something like "FIDES AVG" at the top and "CORG" at the bottom, which could be part of a longer inscription.

To the right of the coin, there is a vertical scale in centimeters, indicating the size of the coin. The dimensions of the coin are not exactly clear from the image, but it appears to be relatively small, possibly about the size of a modern quarter.

Created by Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct on 2025-06-30

On the obverse side, there is a faint outline of a profile, possibly of a ruler or deity, with some inscriptions or symbols around it. The details are quite obscured by the corrosion.

The reverse side displays some inscriptions, though they are also difficult to decipher due to the condition of the coin. There are some raised areas that suggest lettering or symbols, but the exact meaning is unclear.

The scale on the right side of the image indicates that the coin is approximately 2 centimeters in diameter. The overall appearance suggests that this is an archaeological artifact, possibly from an ancient civilization.
