Abstract:
This study discusses the nature of microchemical surface and conserving of two coins dates back to Ayyubid and the Zengid periods with microscopic examination, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD which used to identify and analyze the metal and corrosion products on these coins' surfaces which confirmed that the two coins are made of copper or its alloys, but they are covered with corrosion products in dif-ferent areas on both sides of the coins, with other signs of damage such as pitting and erosion. For the conservation of the coins, it was necessary to remove the corrosion layers covering the coins completely. The treatment and conservation process were carried out by carrying out the cleaning stages, including mechanical and chemical cleaning, then the coins had been rinsed, dried, coated and stabilized with acrylic resin in preparation for museum display. To display the ancient coins, a smart display showcase managed by artificial intelligence was proposed to display the various ancient coins by presenting an idea to display the coin in a modern display showcases that suits the visitor in terms of visibility, and height and has speci-fications in the manufacture of modern materials that are not harmful to metals and are attractive at the same time, supported by artificial intelligence features to control the safe display showcase for archaeological coins through applications that can be installed on mobile phones and are useful in museum management Museum curators and restorers by controlling safe display conditions.
