<p>[QUOTE="Bert Gedin, post: 3157998, member: 92556"]Valentinian. An intriguing query about that ancient coin depicted. Not easy to make out the details, though it does look like a halo around the figure. If a Christian coin, it could certainly be Byzantine, or perhaps Armenian etc. I think the only Byzantine Coin book I have is "Encounters - Travel and Money in the Byzantine World." By</p><p>E. Georganteli & B. Cook. A small book, with lots of illustrations of Byz. Coins. One possible tactic - look up, on internet, Byzantine Coin Collection, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham. They have quite a vast collection of Byzantine coins, you could send pictures of your "odd" coin and ask if they have any ideas. I can't seem to find their leaflet, just now, but the internet should give contact details. Other than Byzantine, they also have Roman, Sasanian, Turkmen and Armenian coins. Do give it a try, it is one place where expertise exists ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
