[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 6541248, member: 41219"]This is my favorite overstrike. Overstrikes aren't at all uncommon with Byzantine coins but I love the fact that this one has both emperors clearly identified on each side of the coin. Nicephorus II Phocas AE Follis Constantinople Note: Overstruck on Constantine VII Follis Obverse: NICIFR bASIL ROM, crowned bust facing with short beard, wearing loros, holding labarum and cross on globe (reverse of Constantine VII CONST-EN QEO bA-SILEVS underneath bust) Reverse: NICHF-EN QEW bA-SILEVS RW-MAIWN, legend in four lines (bust of Constantine VII upside down on top of legend) [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/nicephorus-ii-phocas-963-969-ad-ae-follis-constantinople-png.1227749/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
