<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2296268, member: 19463"]The one nummus pieces make it pretty obvious why Anastasius 'reformed' and made the 40 nummi coins with the big M. Getting one with any obverse legend (VK has DN) pretty much means you give up the portrait. I wonder if you assembled every extant coin of this tpe together in one place if you could demonstrate the complete obverse legend almost certainly no more than two letters on any one coin. It is good that the reverse monogram makes them easily identifiable. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]461055[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
