Dear All, Could you please help me in coin identification? The style of mine coin is typical of Maurice Tiberius; however, the beard and the presumably ERP AVG inscription on the obverse refer to Phocas. I found two very similar coins on acsearch. The first one was identified a Maurice Tiberius half follis, but its description was wrong - see the inscription: Maurice Tiberius, AD 582-602. AE, Half Follis. (22mm, 5.76 g). Constantinople. Dated RY 2 (583/4) Obv: D N MAVRC PP A. That one below is also linked to Maurice Tiberius on acsearch, but its inscription on the observe is not assessed. I have no idea what kind of coin is it. Please help me! Thank you, and best wishes, Gábor
