<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4416479, member: 44316&quot;]Something is very odd about this coin. Justinian coins from his late years are smaller than this. All the DO examples from Year 31 or later are at most 34 mm. The reverse is very well engraved, as is the portrait, but the obverse legend is nonsense lettering. Of course, it has to be of Justinian because only he had a reign with a date like that. I am unaware of any &quot;Arab-Byzantine&quot; coins in the 37 mm size range. I don&#039;t know what to conclude about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a page on coins of Justinian from Antioch, see here:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/interesting/Justinian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/interesting/Justinian.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/interesting/Justinian.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
