<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2451117, member: 76544&quot;]One of the fun things about forums like CoinTalk is that I go through boxes of coins I haven&#039;t looked at in many, many years to come up with an interesting piece to discuss. This is one I forgot that I had but always wanted to know more about. Perhaps someone can help me out. It&#039;s a follis from Theoupolis which I presumed was for Justinian and is typical for this Emperor. Here&#039;s the coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]512030[/ATTACH] </p><p>Looks kind of normal except the obverse legend was odd. Turning it 90 degrees shows this:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]512035[/ATTACH] </p><p>It pretty clearly reads DN ANASTA - SIVS ..., except no Anastasius follis was ever struck in this city. Someone once told me this may be a recorded piece but I could never find it. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
