[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 5260116, member: 81093"]Hi all I thought I had purchased my last coin for the year, but I had this unexpected little win from a recent auction. It's not a coin that was necessarily prioritised on my list, but I jumped at the opportunity to pick up a bargain, and it is a very welcome addition to the expansion of my Eastern Roman Empire collection (I refuse to use the B word!). It is my first (very) late silver Eastern Roman Empire coin.

Cf. PCPC 167; DOC Class VIII, type C; Sear 2402. 2.13g, 21mm, 6h. Please post your late silver Eastern Roman Empire coins, or any relevant coins for that matter :) And Merry Christmas all! AC[/QUOTE]
