<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8329200, member: 44316&quot;]Here are two Byzantine coins of Constantine VII, 913-959, struck c. 945-950 at Constantinople: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1476278[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The one on the left is larger than normal. It is 31-29 mm and 10.55 grams.</p><p>The one on the right is normal-sized--26-25 mm and 9.22 grams.</p><p>Sear 1761. </p><p>Most (all?) coins of this type are overstruck on previous coins, so the flan size depends upon which coins were used as flans. Many undertypes are of Romanus I, but neither of these has a clear undertype. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are other Byzantine types which come in various sizes, even though the denomination is the same. Are there Greek or Roman examples?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
