[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4695738, member: 44316"]My site on Byzantine anonymous folles has some discussion of overstrikes here: [URL]http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ByzAnon/#overstrikes[/URL] Very many Byzantine coins are overstruck on earlier coins. It is amazing that so many are overstruck on coins issued not long before, sometimes even from the same reign. In the anonymous series, it is harder to find one not overstruck than overstruck.
