This is an image of a Byzantine coin. It appears to be made of bronze, showing weathering and wear consistent with age. The photograph shows both sides of the coin:

Left Side (Obverse):
The obverse side features two distinct figures, possibly stylized human representations, which are common on Byzantine currency depicting emperors or saints. Their faces are simplistic, and the designs appear worn, making it difficult to identify precise details. Beneath and around their figures are additional decorative features or markings.

Right Side (Reverse):
The reverse side prominently displays a large "M." This letter was frequently used on Byzantine coins to designate denominations, specifically "40 nummi," also known as a "follis." There are other decorative or symbolic elements surrounding the "M," although they are not clearly discernible due to wear and age.

The background is black with a scale marker on the right side indicating the size of the coin, measured in centimeters.
