<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1255376, member: 26302&quot;]Weird coin overall. I would be very careful of it. I do collect Byzantine and that coin simply strikes me as wrong in a number of ways. First, the portrait is of early Byzantine, yet the eyes are wrong. The style is not right no the portrait either. On the reverse the denomination is clearly a follis, yet the cursive M does not look right. Also, the marks under the M and to the sides do not look right either. If it references Constantine, there were no Constantine emperors in the timeframe such a coin looking like this would have been struck, (500-600 ad).</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, if I saw this coin, I would pass. If it is genuine it must be a very scarce coin for me to never have seen anything like it. I would judge it to be a modern fantasy piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
