[QUOTE="Quant.Geek, post: 3902226, member: 74799"]I have to go grab a copy of Foss and all of my other physical references are packed away and thus a bit crippled with just my digital references. The series is in a need of a desperate documentation and it shouldn't be this difficult, at least, with the classification of the various types. Full attribution with issuing authority, date, etc. can always come later. I have no intention of documenting ALL of the various Byzantine Imitations/Official, but I want to start with the Constans II types, which are the most varied type... By the way, be careful with the regal years as the design changed, yet again during RY 15/16: [B] Byzantine Empire: Constans II (641-668) Æ Follis, Constantinople, RY15 (Sear 1008; DOC 75a; MIBE 172c) [/B] Obv: ЄNTϪT ONIKA; Constans standing, facing, bearded, wearing chlamys and crown with cross; In right hand, long cross, in left, globus cruciger Rev: Large M, beneath A; above ✴, to left, KШN, to right, CTAN; in exergue XЧ Dim: 19mm, 2.98 g [img]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/Sear-1008.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
