    I got this coin mounted in silver. Any thoughts on when it was from, and what the reverse type is?

    Most likely one of these.
    The regnal year is on the right of the M. He ruled from 565 to 574. This post explains a little on how to read the regnal year.

    I agree, most likely a Justin and Sophia issue. Most duel portrait coins like this are.

    I think you are correct. The figure on the right is not seated. Ironic since that is my 2nd link :wacky:
