Here is one of my Byzantine mules: Byzantine Empire: Constans II (641-668) Æ Half Follis, Carthage (Sear-1060/1059 Mule) Obv: Crowned and draped...
That is something I would love to do! Greece, Rome, and Istanbul are high on my to go places...
Kind of hard to identify that one @BenSi. It could either be Sear 1008 or Sear 1007. The legends are different to the right of the coin. It...
There are still some great bargins to be found, if you know your attributions. Just picked up this Tiberius III follis that was misattributed as...
Adding to @catadc attributions.. Group 1.1: Sear 810 with monogram 21 above instead of cross Group 1.2: Arab-Byzantine Group 1.3: MIB 163 -...
Definitely a harder one to identify. I think the exergue is NAB, but can't be sure. Better pictures might help...
Haven't really gotten deep in Byzantine gold, but seeing some of @panzerman, @BenSi, and others coins makes me want to reconsider!
The original design didn't last long as within the first regal year, the design changes multiple times. Several different ligature abbreviations...
Great eye @catadc! I am intrigued by that coin as well. I think it is Monogram 21 of Heraclius. I have Goodwin & Gyselen's book that catalogs a...
Ditto. The MS labeling on these coins are really misleading. The best you can do is to see if you can get a good strike with several of the...
In regards to which ruler issued which coins during the Latin occupation, its not possible to identify the ruler. They were all issued nameless...
It was 15 folles. The measurement is as follows: 1 solidus = 24 keratia = 180 folles = 7200 nummi 1 keration = 7½ folles =...
This particular coin was first documented by Justin Sabatier (Sabatier, J. Description générale des monnaies byzantines frappées sous les...
Here is an interesting strike, but I am not certain its a "shift" of the dies during striking as some claim it to be... [ATTACH]
John, we got to shake you down to get to those Byzantine gold coins! Must have gotten lost with the other gold coins you have... :)
Very nice! I have a soft-spot for Bulgarian coins. The reverse is upside down. I would think it is an imitative/anonymous coin, probably...
That, my friend, is a serious byzantine collector. That collection has a lot of nice rarities that one normally doesn't see together. Just...
I'll look after it :D...
There seems to be a recent hoard of Andronicus II Basilikon that hit the market the past few months. Several of them have been auctioned off on...
Here is one you normally don't see. Its a recent acquisition and I have been spending some time putting together a proper attribution....
