This image shows an ancient coin with both its obverse (front) and reverse (back) sides displayed against a black background. The coin appears darkened with age and exhibits patina typical of its historical provenance.

Details:

  1. Obverse Side (Left):

    • Displays a central figure, likely a ruler or deity, depicted in a standing pose with faint features visible.
    • Surrounding the figure is an inscription in a circular format, partially worn but suggesting Greek or Latin script commonly seen in ancient coins.
  2. Reverse Side (Right):

    • Shows a large "M" character, possibly a denomination mark signifying the coin's value.
    • Additional smaller inscriptions are visible around the main symbol and along the edge, indicating origin or minting details.
    • The bottom portion displays "CON," which could refer to Constantinople, a major mint in the Byzantine Empire.
  3. Scale:

    • A ruler with centimeters is provided along the right edge, serving as a scale reference to highlight the coin's dimensions.

This is likely a Byzantine-era coin, reflecting both its stylistic features and inscriptions.

The coin on the left features an embossed figure of a person in the center, surrounded by illegible text that appears to be in Latin or Greek. The coin on the right also has an embossed figure in the center, but it is more difficult to discern due to the wear and tear on the coin. The text surrounding this figure is also illegible.
