<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3098776, member: 87200"]Great thread. I don't have any overstrikes - simply not "eye-catching" enough for me. But I do like the anonymous folle struck over that as of Gordian III. So here's a question - were coins of Gordian III still circulating during the time of the Byzantine Empire? For that matter, how about other emperors' issues? </p><p><br /></p><p>If so, how would one value late roman bronze against the earlier issues, or folles of the tetrarchs to the earlier antoninianus, and the coinage after the reform of Anastasius?</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems pretty complex, but I don't recall any edicts stating that "earlier" coins were not legal tender. If so, then there must have been some sort of system to relate all of the weights, denominations, and values to each other, sort of like the function of the money changers in the Temple from the Gospels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
