Here are a couple of anonymous folles from group lots. As such they are rough in appearance, pretty close to how they looked coming out of the...
A wonderful group for 2021! Your Michael II & Theophilus follis is an excellent example for this type.
Thanks! I guess the unusual nature of these and other imitative coins is a major drawing card for me. If nothing else, they provide lots of...

This is the only Tyrian shekel in my collection, purchased in the 90s from CNG. This coin is dated year 138, which works out to 12-13 AD. RPC...
