<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8324646, member: 75482&quot;]According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_(emperor)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_(emperor)" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>, Maurice Tiberius was crowned 13 August 582 and died 27 November 602. Phocas was crowned 23 November 602, some 103 days (if I added correctly) into Maurice&#039;s 21st regnal year. Sear lists coins of year XXI for the following mints and denominations: Constantinople (follis only), Thessalonica (half-follis, decanummium), Theoupolis-Antioch (follis, half follis), Catania (decanummium) and Syracuse (follis, decanummium). Dated coins at other mints extend no later than XX. It would be interesting to go through the relevant Dumbarton Oaks volume and compare the numbers of XXI-dated coins in that collection with other dates present to get an idea of rarity. Interesting stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
