[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 3902908, member: 74222"]Quant.Geek Can I ask your opinion? As you wrote, and I have also noticed, there were coins which were expected to be byzantines, but have turned out to be Arab. I have a coin of Constans II minted in Constantinople according to David Sear: [ATTACH=full]1028623[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1028626[/ATTACH] Obverse: "MPER CONST", Constans, unbearded bust facing, wearing crown and chlamys, holding cross on globe Reverse: Large M, "ANA" to left, cross above, "III" to right, officina letter below, "NEOS" in ex SEAR: 1004 According to David Sear the above is Byzantine, and minted in Constantinople. - Taking into consideration what you have read from other sources, do you also think that the above coin is Byzantine, and NOT Arab?[/QUOTE]
