<p>[QUOTE="A.E. Follis, post: 7635474, member: 121010"]I received this coin in a group lot. It is a bit out of my area of specialization and has me stumped. I have posted two photos to show the different orientations of each strike. I found the obverse legend "JJ N [hERACL E hRA]" listed on Wildwinds as Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine, AE Follis, Isaura mint, but the type does not match. The reverse has a mint designation of "_ONЄ" for what? Constantinople? Whatever it's attribution, it is kind of a beautiful coin with a green patina and earthen highlights and a strange mess of clashing devices and letters. Any help is much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1313387[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
