<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 2993254, member: 80556&quot;]The Foss book has lots of information, but only around 30 of the coins are imitative the other 80% are listings for coins with Arabic. I was expecting to see more imitations before I purchased his book. The Goodwin book, a good reference, has maybe even less. I took [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] advice and borrowed Sylloge of Islamic coins in the Ashmolean and #505/506 are closish to yours with the three figures, but.... the reverse has KYπP in the exergue and the year and &#039;ANNO&#039; are also different <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>That book also only has 2 or 3 pages of non Arabic coins. Of the hoard I purchase 10+ years ago (only partly pictured), it has as many as 30% imitations in it, so I assume the early 7th century saw lots of trade with the Byzantine empire. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]739001[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in my possession is very close to one sold from <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=157252" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=157252" rel="nofollow">CNG</a> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]739003[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]739004[/ATTACH] </p><p>Since we are on topic does any body know what the &quot;BN&quot; reference is CNG is talking about? I tried looking it up in their bibliography, but often the abbreviation does not match the title. I suppose I could just email them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What is Zeno QG?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
