The image displays two ancient gold coins against a neutral gray background. A scale is provided for size reference, with each increment representing 1 cm.

On the left, the gold coin depicts two figures facing the viewer. They appear to be wearing imperial regalia, including crowns, and one figure holds a scepter, indicating their royal or imperial status.

On the right, the coin features a single figure adorned with a halo, holding a cross in the right hand, which suggests a depiction of a saint or religious figure. Again, the attire and crown signify a person of high status, possibly a ruler or a depiction of Christ in royal iconography, considering the era when such coins were typically made.

Both coins are surrounded by inscriptions, though worn by time, they are characteristic of the sort of texts found on historical coinage, possibly providing information such as the name of the ruler, mint location, or dates.

The coins do not appear to be of modern mint, suggesting they are historical artifacts, likely from a period when coins were used not just for commerce but also for asserting the authority and legitimacy of rulers. These types of coins could have been used in the Byzantine Empire or other medieval states where such iconography was common.
