The OP coin is great. However, I would like to know on what basis it is attributed to the Khazars. In my view this imitation could have been made...
That is a good point, but it is not just metal detectorists and ebay sellers who are guilty of relableing almost everything as Viking or Kievan...
The top coin is a Zlatnik, i.e. a gold coin of Vladimir I. You can take it right off your wish list, I'm afraid. Short of breaking into the...
Wonderful Solidus, congratulations. I don't know if the T on the labarum was intended to represent a Tau-cross or not. However, here is a coin of...
This coin predates the reign of Vladimir I. It is a Russian or Kievan Rus imitation of a a Dirham of Abbasid Al-Mutarakkil, Baghdad AD 848/849...
Not a beauty either, but this is a Srebrenik of Grand Prince Svyatopolk I, who ruled after his father Vladimir from 1015 to 1019. Svyatopolk was...
This is another variety of Typ III, A.I. Rublev V.3.3.1.1.1. Not a pretty coin, but still a good condition for these issues. The obverse shows...
Here is another Srebrenik of the Kievan Rus. These coins often come with incomplete flans. This is again Grand Prince Vladimir I. Type II, A.I....
Here is another example from my collection. Type II, A.I. Rublev V. 2.4.1.2.1. page 212 (this coin) Found: Chernigov Oblast before 2013...

To continue the theme of very rare coins from early Russia/Ukraine (I know of course that Ukraine did not exist back then, but the region in...

With all the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, I thought I post a coin from my collection from that region, which I am sure hardly anyone here will...
The coin below has been discussed as a possible Suevic silver coin (half-siliqua) in "Aponamentos para estudo da Moeda Sueva (numisma as), by...
I bought this siliqua in yesterday's Gorny & Mosch auction: Obv.: DN HONORI-VS PF AVG Rev.: VIPTV..HO-MA-NORVIIV In exergue: MPPS [ATTACH]...
I voted for coincidence. The exact same thing happened to me last year with a rare Ostrogothic coin. Theoderic the Great died on 30.08.526...
Unless the catalog description said "full silvering" I would assume that the coin is bronze that for some reason has turned grey.
