<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4679714, member: 110350"]I believe the catalog numbers for the OP's coin are RIC VII 121 and Sear RCV IV 16774. The delta (Δ) that's part of the mintmark tells you that the coin was produced by the 4th Officina in Thessalonica (the "TS" part of the mintmark). The meaning of the "VI" at the end is apparently unclear; Sear says that "it would appear to refer in some way to the value of this new denomination," i.e., the billon centenionalis. See Sear RCV IV at p. 529. Sear does not classify this coin as a reduced follis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
