<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1755831, member: 44210&quot;]Another Cherson-related acquisition , this time its a roughly 13 mm coin of Justin I. This is probably one of the crudest of early Byzantine coins I&#039;ve seen so far, but its a nice example of this type imo. There was another very similar type (with emperor holding a globe instead of leaning on shield that mine has) that was on auction that I wanted as well. They would have went well together in my collection but someone was willing to pay more for it than I <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Esty&#039;s page on Late Roman/Byzantine Cherson coins (<a href="http://esty.ancients.info/Cherson/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/Cherson/" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/Cherson/</a>) explains an interesting question about these two types.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><b>Justin I</b></u>, Byzantine Emperor (518-527 AD), 5 nummi</p><p>Obv: DN IVSTINVS P AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right</p><p>Rev: VICTOR, emperor holding long cross and leaning on shield, Cherson mint</p><p>SB 112B</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/JustinICherson_zpsce82eba1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
