<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3189995, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with Mr Bendall&#039;s theory of multiple rocking strikes for Byzantine coins. However, there is another way to strike these, and evidence some like the Latins made them another way. A friend who strikes medieval style coins experimented a lot with these shapes. The easiest way to replicate them is flat dies and then punch one side inwards. Indeed, there are coins with a flat spot in the very center of Latin coins for no apparent reason. So I think we are looking at multiple technologies here at different times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I use 2.5 x 2.5 flips and boxes for these. The extra size takes the pressure off the coins nicely versus 2x2&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
