    Strong work, gentlemen! :D

    (It is helpful for you to post the basics about your coin, at least who it is... if you want me to put it on my site. Most I recognize but I'd have to search your old posts for others.)

    It's a bird.
    It's a plane.
    It's Heraclius.

    The obverse is neither bird nor plane. It is simply a cross potent. :)

    Heraclius Cross.jpg Heraclius S.jpg Byzantine Empire
    Heraclius
    A.D. 610-641
    Æ 6 Nummi

    1.77 grams, 15.7 mm
    Obv: Cross potent
    Rev: Large S
    Other: DOC 198; SB 862.
    Heraclius was Byzantine Emperor from 610 to 641. According to Wikipedia, he was responsible for introducing Greek as the Eastern Empire's official language. He apparently reorganized the Byzantine imperial administration and the imperial armies and strengthened the Empire in the process.

    Nice. You know they're redoing Charlie Brown? The commercial made my son laugh so I'll probably see it.
