While I was looking through wildwinds, I came to the conclusion that it is Not Romanus I, but instead Nicephorous II and it is likely overstruck on a Constantine VII or Romanus I follis. </p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it was cool since you can make out the head of Nicephorous II along with the partial reverse inscription of Constantine VII/Romanus I and on the other side you can make out the bottom of Probably Constantine VII along with the partial reverse inscription of Nicephorous II. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you Byzantine experts think? Am I correct in my identification or am I way off?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin in question:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1159008[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the Nicephorous II coin I am basing the obverse off of:</p><p><img src="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/nicephorus_II/sb1782.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the Constantine VII I am basing the reverse off of:</p><p><img src="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/constantine_VII/sb1761.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
