Low resolution?

This is a very small image and certainly does not replace any functions of the actual stone, which is so "high-res" that you'd have to use a microscope to read all of it.
Purpose of use

To illustrate the article about this subject. The article would be incompletely without a visual depiction.
Replaceable?

Low. Only a few rosetta disks exist, and most of those are privately owned or kept by the rosetta project itself. In any event, a photograph taken by a third party would be pretty much identical to this one.
