Portrait of John VIII Palaoelogus, Emperor of Constantinople, 1424-1428 (obverse) and (reverse)

The image shows two sides of a coin. The coin on the left has a profile of a man with curly hair facing left. The man is wearing a collared shirt. The words around the edge of the coin are partially visible but appear to be in Latin. The coin on the right depicts several figures standing together. The figure on the left appears to be a woman with her right arm raised. There are several other figures to her right, including a man with a spear, another woman, and two smaller figures. The background behind the figures appears to have some foliage. There are words around the edge of this coin as well. Both coins are bronze or gold-colored and have a beaded edge. They are set against a gray background.
