[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4554759, member: 110226"]The beat goes on. Here are two more folles. The first coin, the one on the left, is a follis of Heraclius (610-641 AD). This coin depicts, on the obverse, Hercalius standing left, facing, in military dress. Constantine III is standing to the right, holding a cross. A large cross is to the far left. The die is very crude, as is the flan. As a result Heraclius' beard is quite bold, but the rest of his head is basically missing. The reverse has "XX" for the year (630 AD), CON below, and Officina Δ below the "M". The weight is 5.4 grams (thin flan), is approximately 26.5 mm wide and the reverse orientation is 8h. SB 810, Berk 546 The second coin, to the right, is another anonymous follis of Romanus IV (1068-1071), class G. This coin came to me by way of Stephen M. Huston of San Francisco back in the late 80's. This coin weighs 11.1 grams [ATTACH=full]1127795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1127796[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
