[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3004984, member: 56859"]What a jumbo flan! The first coin in particular is very appealing. I'd like to get a "plague follis" of Justinian (like the Justinian year 15 Constantinople follis shown by [USER=91469]@Milesofwho[/USER]... or was the plague primarily in his year 14??) because that bubonic plague was such a notable event in history. For now I just have a handful of Byzantines, mostly from a group lot.
