[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 2490894, member: 74222"]So that was the reason why these Hexhagram silver coins popped up and ceased immediately in short time. They were in hurry to pay the troops after the devastating invasion from first Persia and then Arabian Peninsula and thus they melted down everything silver from the churches? I love my hexagrams even more now after I heard that as it just puts more history into them. That sounds very plausible from what I have read as Heraclius persuaded the church to give its resources and young men to him (in order to make them soldiers). He won against all odds, and had Byzantium had some decades to recover instead of meeting a fresh Arabian army short after the end of Byzantine-Persian war the things may have turned out in a completely another direction. Mine here, both are the same type, the first weird clipped 6,8gram the second round one 6,6gram: [ATTACH=full]527149[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]527150[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
