<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3705535, member: 97383"]Doug, I would say John's recent Zeno solidus along with the top example I posted are the finest style you'll see in barbarous coinage of that period. John's example shows obvious die deterioration, however, style wise it is top tier. Both of these coins could have circulated with Constantinople Mint products, in fact they are superior to many official mint products I've seen <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The 2nd coin I posted is by no means the bottom tier stylistically of barbarous coinage, but it's close <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I bought it for the comparison & because it has a whimsical appearance <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
