Am I right? But that John-coin was minted in the name of John I Tzimiskes who reigned in 969-976. How do you explain that coin? To me it doesn&#039;t look like a Byzantine one, but a barbarian-imitation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just confused. Can anyone here explains me how to categorize these two coins? Were they really minted in the Byzantine Empire? It doesn&#039;t seem like they were to me.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
