[QUOTE="sand, post: 7837879, member: 118540"]That's an interesting Byzantine silver coin, with an interesting story. "the first heir born to a reigning emperor in almost 200 years" That is quite interesting. I didn't know that. Interestingly, the Byzantine Empire did pretty well, during those 200 years. I've never seen, a coin of Theodosius son of Maurice Tiberius, before. And another NGC photo certificate.:cool: I have very few Byzantine silver coins. In fact, I only have one, a John VIII stavraton. And no Byzantine gold coins. In fact, no ancient gold coins at all. But, I have plenty of Byzantine bronze coins. Here is one of my Byzantine bronze coins, the father of Theodosius, the Emperor, Maurice Tiberius. [ATTACH=full]1347783[/ATTACH] Maurice Tiberius 40 Nummus. Sear 532. Minted during regnal year 3, which was approximately 585 AD. Minted in Antioch, which was also called "Theoupolis". Diameter = 28 mm. Weight = 12.7 grams.[/QUOTE]
