<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3901945, member: 74799&quot;]The problem with some of these coins are the overstrikes which causes even more confusion on an already confusing series.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think your coin in an Arab-Byzantine, but a regular Byzantine coin with an overstrike.&nbsp; There are remnants of another legend around.&nbsp; A good clean-up would probably identify the culprit as a variant of the following:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Byzantine Empire: Constans II (641-668) Æ Follis, Constantinople, RY2 (Sear 1001; DOC 61a; MIBE 163a)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: ЄNTϪT ONIKA; Constans standing, facing, beardless, wearing chlamys and crown with cross; In right hand, long cross, in left, globus cruciger</p><p>Rev: Large M; above ANA, to left, O/Φ/A, to right, N/Є/O/ς; in exergue, to left A, to right II</p><p>Dim: 23mm, 4.10 g</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/Sear-1001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
