<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 25238806, member: 15588&quot;]Someone in 7th century Sicily decided to turn an Anastasius follis into a Heraclius follis and Heraclius looks pretty pleased about it. They also stamped &quot;SCL&quot; over the &quot;CON&quot; of the original Constantinople follis. Viola! A new coin! Pretty resourceful.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1608706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608707[/ATTACH]</p><p><i>Heraclius (610-641), Æ Follis (30/32mm, 16,54g); Sicily, undetermined mint, 616-622; Obv: coin of Anastasius I from Constantinople countermarked by crowned and bearded bust of Heraclius facing forward wearing chlamys, with Monogram to right; Rev: SCL topped by a line within small oval, stamped below the &quot;M&quot; of the original coin;&nbsp; MIB Km 4, Sommer 11.113.
