This image shows two sides of an ancient coin against a black background, with a scale in centimeters on the right side for reference.

  • Left side of the coin: It depicts a figure, likely standing, with stylized clothing and an indistinct background design. The figure appears to be holding or gesturing with their hand, but the details are worn, making it difficult to identify specifics.

  • Right side of the coin: It portrays a figure in ornate attire, possibly a ruler or saint, standing upright. The figure wears a crown or headdress and seems to hold an orb or ceremonial object in one hand. Circular text or symbols surround the figure, although they are mostly indistinguishable due to wear.

The coin has visible discoloration and oxidation, consistent with its age, and appears irregular in shape, suggesting it may be hand-struck rather than machine-minted.
