<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7375457, member: 97383&quot;]Andres2, Your 40 nummi / follis has been blessed with a beautiful jade-like patina <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The bronze coinage took a dramatic drop in weight during the reign of Maurice Tiberius compared to the coins of Justinian I. The 40 nummi coin I recently posted of Justinian I, from Antioch, struck in year 16 (AD 542/543) weighed 22.71 gm, more than twice the weight of your coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Strangely his gold coinage maintained the weight &amp; purity of the previous emperors <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284666[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
