<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 8064666, member: 72790"]I'm going through my Byzantine coins and found one I think I misattributed at the time. It is a very small follis, about the size of a US nickel weighing only 3.7 grams and cut almost like a geometric design (rhombus?). It is fairly clear and smooth and parts are legible. What I think it is, is a follis (M 40 numia) of a young Constans II of ca. 650 AD but I cannot make out the lettering and I am not sure of the mint. I would appreciate it if one our Byzantine experts could take a look and nail it down and perhaps fill in what parts the coin's inscriptions I cannot make out an determine the mint. Thanks for any help you can give to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1398062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1398063[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
