<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3237960, member: 56859&quot;]I&#039;ve edited your images for ease of viewing.&nbsp; The obverse looks like two figures shown full length, seated.&nbsp; My best guess is Justin II with Sophia.&nbsp; Determining the mint and year of issue might not be possible due to the condition.&nbsp; That information is on the reverse (renal year in right field, mint at bottom).&nbsp; Some gentle cleaning might reveal those details. Below your coin is an example from CNG&#039;s archives.&nbsp; There are many people on this board who are very familiar with Byzantine coinage.&nbsp; Maybe one of those people will render an opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]846934[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=255416" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=255416" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=255416</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3240526.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Justin II, with Sophia. </b>565-578.
