The image shows two silver coins with distinct designs on each side. The coin on the left features a woman's head facing left, with curly hair and a crown or headpiece on her head. The woman's facial features include a nose, mouth, and eyes. The coin has a raised edge around its circumference. The coin on the right depicts a horse standing on a flat surface with its head facing right. The horse has a long mane on its neck and appears to have a decorative element on its head. The coin also has a raised edge around its circumference. Both coins are made of silver and have a weathered appearance.
