<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1987377, member: 26302&quot;]Oh, as in local imitative coins, not official manufacture. I would understand that argument then. I don&#039;t really agree with it, but could understand where it came from, kind of like Roman imitative coinage from the 4-5th centuries. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure a FEW of these types are exactly that, local imitative coinage. Problem is, official Byzantine coinage at the time is so horribly made its kind of hard to distinguish byzantine imitative, byzantine official, and arabic imitative. I have a pile somewhere of a hoard of these I bought. Its pretty dang hard to figure out which is which. A few are clearly official Byzantine, a few are clearly arab-byzantine, and the other 100 or so are somewhere in between or too crude to tell much. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
