[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 5475425, member: 110226"]Today marks the start of a new administration. In the middle of a raging pandemic and economic hardships, this is a time for hope of a better future. So, to mark this event, I pawed through my ancients looking for the first year of reign coins. I found some - there might be others - but I figure that by the time I locate any more it will be 2024. Here's my lineup. Please post your year ones. Byzantine Empire, 565-66 AD Justin II AE follis Antioch, Reginal Year 1 Obverse: Facing portrait of emperor, holding victory in his right hand, cross to right of head. Reverse: Large central M, A below (officina), cross above, ANNO to left, I to right with stars above and below, Antioch in exergue. SB 378 15.8 grams [ATTACH=full]1238560[/ATTACH] Byzantine Empire, 565-66 AD Justin II and Empress Sophia AE follis Constantinople, Reginal Year 1 Obverse: Emperor and Empress seated, Justin II holding a globus cruciger, Sophia holding a cross. Reverse: Large central M, B below (officina), cross above, ANNO to left, I to right, Constantinople in exergue. SB 378 15.8 grams [ATTACH=full]1238568[/ATTACH] Byzantine Empire, 582-83 AD Maurice Tiberius AE follis Constantinople, Reginal Year 1 Obverse: Facing portrait of emperor, holding a globus cruciger in right hand. Reverse: Large central M, Δ below (officina), cross above, ANNO to left, I to right, Constantinople in exergue. 12.3 grams [ATTACH=full]1238583[/ATTACH] Byzantine Empire, 582-83 AD Maurice Tiberius AE follis Cyzicus, Reginal Year 1 Obverse: Facing portrait of emperor, holding a globus cruciger in right hand. Reverse: Large central M, A below (officina), cross above, ANNO to left, I to right, Cyzicus in exergue. 11.0 grams [ATTACH=full]1238588[/ATTACH] While there is a dip in the flan on the reverse, probably caused by a bubble during refining of the bronze , next to the "I", I believe this coin was minted in the first year of Maurice Tiberius' reign, based on the positioning of the ""I" well to the right of the M, leaving very little space for another thick "I" to the right of it.[/QUOTE]
