    Nice big Byzantine. Ordered a decent sized one a while back but it looks like the seller is not sending it. :mad: Most annoying part is filing the chargeback on my cc.

    As usual, I'm a bit late, but I still want to show my Justinian follis. It's not from Nicomedia, but from Constantinople, year 13, with officina number gamma = 3 under the M. Not a bad portrait, and nice details clear like the washboard cuirass with three nails at the top, and Justinian's shield with a mounted soldier on it.
    38 mm, 16,59 gr.
