[Ancients] Justinian I AE Pentanummium

Justinian I, AE Pentanummium, 527-565 AD, Antioch.

OBV: DN IVSTINIANVS PP AVG, Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right.

REV: Epsilon with + at center, star to right.

REF: SB 244, DOC 271.

This is another coin that I ordered along with the Roman Republic semis. I haven't purchased a Byzantine coin in quite awhile but now this makes 4 coins that I have. Once I receive that is.

The obverse is rather rough on the face but I did not pay very much for it. And I like it regardless.

I keep forgetting to put my threads as ancients. This time I didn't forget. lol

Decent looking coin Gil, even though the obverse may be rather rough. What is the size and weight?

Any more I look as readily at the poster I recognize as when the Subject is titled with "Ancient".

 

LOL, same as I.

I have a Justin I of the same denomination, never posted it here though. Its in my gallery though.

 

The dealer's listed weight is 2.1g. He does not measure them. I will do that when the coin arrives.

 

Feel free to make a thread for it when you get a chance.

 

cool GG, good to see some new byzantines. a pentanummium is on my hit list.

here's a Justinian decanummium I have...

 

Not a bad Justinian coin. I definitely don't have that denomination yet.

 

Atta boy, Gil-galad ... man, you seem to be buying and/or posting quite a few coins lately (keep-up the awesome work entertaining us!!)

... I only have one example from this ruler

=> my sweet ol' pizza-coin (it looks good enough to eat, yes?)
