[QUOTE="Raxc, post: 7876112, member: 96251"]Very impressive coin. There is only a few varites of Carthage silver that has Theodosius as obverse image and a few Cherson bronze with Theodosius on reverse. The Cherson dating is also an issue, some attribute them to Maurice Tiberius' reign, others, to Phocas' reign as an act of resistance. Then to complicate things, there are cherson bronze with the inscription XEPCWNOC, some claims that to be Justin II, Sophia and Tiberius II and others claim Maurice Tiberius, Constantina and Theodosius. I guess any coin with Theodosius has some uncertainty that reflects the time.[/QUOTE]
