On the reverse, the K indicates the denomination, a Half Follis, or 20 nummi. The ANNO means year, IIII indicates the year number, and the chi-rho...
I needed some time to think on this one. I do believe its fake, I see a casting pit below Zeus' armpit. The style itself doesn't immediately set...
NOW I see it. Another damn Rorschack test. :D Domitian Judea, 83-92 AD Laureate head l. IMP DOMITIANVS CAES AVG GERMANICVS Minerva standing l.,...
Pleaaaaaaaase? :smile Its double struck, that much I can tell you from here. Double struck Byzantine follles are already enough like a Rorschack...
Can you get an image of the otherside? And clearer, if possible.
With a basic mintage of 1.5 BILLION. Sign me up!
I know this isn't what you wanted - but this is how I would fully ID it. And it made me laugh. :D Anonymous AE/ZI - cent, 19mm Denver, 1960 AD...

I will reply to your statement with an equally complicated one - That is dumb. :D The farthing is genuine, but only worth about $0.25
Whoa! That's a lot to ID. The 1st one is Greco-Baktrian, I need more time on it. The second is Elagabalus. The third is Greek, maybe Seleukid,...
Britannia, as seen on the 2003 silver Britannia. Almost all of the Roman woman are fat or ugly or both. Except *maybe* Crispina. :D
I think a collector is defined by the desire to "have every one" of a given type. As I've pretty much transcended this need, I guess I'm just a...
Tough call, most of the late emperors issued coins of this type. If part of the legend reads IVS, as I think it does, then its pretty much...
