The image depicts two silver coins, likely from the Byzantine Empire, given the inscriptions and design elements. The coins are circular and have a metallic, aged appearance. The obverse side of the coin on the left features a cross with a small, stylized figure below it, possibly a representation of a saint or a religious figure. The coin's edge has a beaded pattern, and the coin's surface shows signs of wear and corrosion. The reverse side of the coin on the right has an inscription in Greek, which translates to "Theofilos, the pious emperor of the Romans." The coin's design and inscriptions suggest that it was minted during the reign of Theofilos, a Byzantine emperor who ruled from 829 to 842 AD.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely a Byzantine coin, given the style and inscriptions. Here are the details for each side:

Obverse (Left Side)

  • Central Design: The obverse features a cross potent (a cross with equal arms and a smaller crossbar at the end of each arm) mounted on a stepped base.
  • Inscription: The Greek letters surrounding the cross appear to read "ΙϹ ΧϹ ΝΙΚΑ," which translates to "Jesus Christ Conquers."

Reverse (Right Side)

  • Central Design: The reverse side has an inscription arranged in a circular pattern.
  • Inscription: The inscription reads "ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟϹ ΔΕϹΠΟΤΙϹ ΧΡΙϹΤΥϹ ΤΟϹ ΘΕΟΥ ΒΑϹΙΛΕΥϹ ΡΩΜΑΙΩΝ," which translates to "Theophilus, Servant of Christ the God, Emperor of the Romans."

Additional Observations

  • Condition: The coin appears to be in relatively good condition, though there is some wear and discoloration.
  • Size: There is a scale on the right side of the image, indicating the coin is approximately 2 cm in diameter.

This coin is likely from the Byzantine Empire, given the use of Greek letters and the Christian symbolism. The inscriptions suggest it was minted during the reign of Emperor Theophilus, who ruled from 829 to 842 AD.
