[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3524529, member: 96864"]Thanks for the comments everyone! Yeah, my sense was that the Arab issues imitated 7th century coinage and tended to be rather small, whereas this piece seemed like a good-faith effort to produce a coin with a weight roughly equivalent to the Folles of those 3 emperors, though the style of the reverse lacking the reignal year and the "ANA" of the apparent "H ANA + NV PF...S" (all retrograde Ns) had me thinking Anastasius. Maybe it's all just complete gibberish though. Or maybe the name of some Germanic king or chieftain (a fella can hope lol :D) Wahoo thanks Ken (and Roman Collector)! Guess it was on wildwinds after all. I've still got a headache from eyeballing the coin for hours last night, hopefully now I'll be able to recover![/QUOTE]
