<p>[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8183959, member: 110226"]Here's a Sassanian imitation follis of Heraclius, I believe, 610-629, during the war between the Persian and the Byzantine empires, early in Heraclius' reign. The fabric of the obverse, with its extremely crude die work, even cruder than Byzantine die work for that period, stands out. The reverse is fairly close to that of a Byzantine follis, but the lettering, particularly for "CON" is very irregular, ending with a stick figure "N".</p><p><br /></p><p>7.9 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1431260[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
