<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1940186, member: 19463&quot;]I see it as year 7.&nbsp; When the top of the letter is curved over it is a 6.&nbsp; Five is open top u and was not used by Justin II according to the Sear Byzantine 361 (page 85) listing except alone as year 5.&nbsp; The 6 numeral was not very long lasting&nbsp;&nbsp; The delta shows it was the fourth officina of the mint at Constantinople.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry I don&#039;t have a Justin II year five to show.&nbsp; Below is a year 6 of officina E (5).&nbsp; There are coins with year GIII and year X but there is no listing for a uIIII confirming the intent of the G was 6. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]336232[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
