<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3540814, member: 44316&quot;]Some Byzantine overstrikes are easy to attribute.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]940966[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is another Heraclius and son/M, Sear 805.

On the obverse at the left the original obverse legend shows CAS + PER of Phocas (FO<b>CAS</b> on coins) and the reverse top is at 9:00 with ANNO across the top and XXXX for 40, across the middle. I can&#039;t make out its mintmark but is likely the same mint, that is, Constantinople. If so, it is Sear 640 of Phocas at Constantinople.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most (all?) Heraclius coins of the type of Sear 805 are overstruck, and many of them are on identifiable undertypes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
