<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 7321244, member: 44316&quot;]Prior to Justinian&#039;s year 12 the follis denomination had a right-facing bust. In year 12 there was a coin reform in which the coin became larger (huge--40 mm or so) with a facing bust. Year 13 is the second year of the reform coinage and the coins are still large. Over time, especially after year 15, the coins gradually became smaller and less impressive.</p><p><br /></p><p>For an introduction to Byzantine coinage:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Byz/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Byz/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Byz/</a></p><p>(Coin 14 is also year 13 and that one is 42 mm!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
