<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 25480804, member: 110226&quot;]I purchased this small late 7th century AD imitation of the standing follis of Constans II a couple of months ago, and just got around to photographing it today.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s terribly unusual about the obverse, pretty much patterned after other standing emperor imitations that I have seen.&nbsp; However, on the reverse there appears to be a symbol or figure under the M which is either a countermark or part of the die.&nbsp; As far as I can determine this design looks like a seated figure with a chi rho above, but that is just a guess.&nbsp; There&#039;s also another larger chi rho above the M.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can shed more light on this as well as the mint, I appreciate the help. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>Arab-Byzantine, AE fals Imitating Constans II, late 7th century AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.84 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1630861[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
