My friend at the coin shop had a customer bring in these two coins. He couldn't identify them, and asked me. I know that the guys here on the ancient forum were as good as anyone, so here they are, can you tell me anything about them?
The first coin is: CONSTANTINOPOLIS COMMEMMORATIVE AE3/4 OBVERSE: CONSTANTINOPOLIS, laureate, helmeted & mantled bust left holding sceptre REVERSE: Victory standing left on foot of prow with scepter and leaning on shield, wreath left, TRS dot in ex. Struck at Trier, 332-33 AD RIC VII 530
i think the second is an byzantine anonymous follis, but attributed to the time of michael iv. i'm not 100%, so may want a second opinion.
