<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3046673, member: 74799&quot;]I picked this up as part of a Byzantine lot I purchased last week and it just arrived.&nbsp; Among the coins in the lot was this tiny (about 10mm) coin that I couldn&#039;t properly identify until I started to take some pictures.&nbsp; The monogram was clear as day which lead me to its proper identification, but the bust was very difficult to photograph. If I look at the coin without any magnification and slightly tilt it, I can spot it the bust.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Byzantine Empire: Anastasius I (491-518 CE) Æ Nummus, Constantinople (Sear 13; DOC 15; MIBE 40)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: DN ANA-STASIVS PP AVG or similar; Bust facing right with diadem</p><p>Rev: Monogram of Anastasius in wreath</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
