[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 7865640, member: 81093"]Hi all Hope you're well, and managing through the pandemic. I haven't been incredibly active recently in the hobby, but I did want to share this little win. Ancient auctions in Australia are few are far between, so I really wanted to nab something in the most recent auction. Honestly, the prices were just... ridiculous. I had a high indifference to which coin I wanted, and bid on half a dozen. On most of them, I didn't bid anywhere near the winning price (although I still feel like a only just missed out on one of them...). Anyway, I was really pleased to have picked this one up at a relatively good price (all things considered). [ATTACH=full]1355203[/ATTACH] [B]NICEPHORUS III, [/B](A.D.1078-1081), electrum gold histamenon nomisma Constantinople mint, (4.33 g) Obv. bearded Christ enthroned no back, facing, wearing nimbus, raising right hand, in left hand the Gospels, IC XC across, double dotted border Rev. +NIKH**F D*EC T W ROTANIAT, around bust of Nicephorus facing, bearded wearing crown and loros, holding labarum with X on shaft and globe with cross, (ref S.1881, DOC 3, BMC 7-11, R.2051-2) Please share your late Eastern Roman coins :) AC[/QUOTE]
