Hello... I wondered if you could give me an estimated value of this Byzantine Gold Coin. I cant seem to find a similar on the net, it seems special, as there is only one man on each side. Does anyone recognize this one? How much is it worth? I would appreciate a quick reply on this. Yours sincerely
It looks very similar to this if that helps... Constantine X, Ducas. 1059-1067. AV Histamenon. Constantinople mint. +IhS IXS REX REGNANTIhM, Christ, nimbate, seated facing on straight-backed throne, raising hand in benediction, holding Gospels / +KWN RACL' O DOVKAC, Isaac standing facing, in crown & loros, holding labarum & globus cruciger; X on labarum shaft. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/constantine_X/Sear_1847v.jpg Estimate $500 Sold For $1200 {;-()>
Sounds about right, at least from those pictures. Its definitely a Byzantine histamenon, in any case. I can't tell if its genuine or not from the pics.
