The image displays two ancient gold coins, known as histamena, which were part of the Byzantine Empire's currency. The coin on the left features two figures standing side by side, both holding an ornate staff with a cross at the top. The figures appear adorned in detailed robes and headgear typical of Byzantine imperial iconography. The coin on the right depicts a single figure, likely Jesus Christ, holding a book in one hand and gesturing with the other. A halo with a cross is visible behind the figure's head on this coin, reinforcing the religious significance. The edges of both coins are inscribed with text. The scale on the right side of the image provides a reference to the coins' size, with each major tick marking 2 centimeters. The grey background contrasts with the gold color of the coins, highlighting their details and engravings.

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.
