<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2339941, member: 74799&quot;]Going back to some of the questions by Herberto that somehow got unanswered.&nbsp; The original coin that started this post is indeed cast as opposed to being struck.&nbsp; The evidence is clearly in the article I posted earlier with images of the casting molds used.&nbsp; The monogram is that of Romanus II (<span style="color: #ff0000">Ρω</span>μανός as seen on the coin).&nbsp; There is some debate as to whether there is a variety that has a blank obverse or it is just heavily worn down version of the one with steps on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins from Cherson are known to be cast and the question of whether there are <i>other</i> Byzantine cast coins, I believe there were others but I can&#039;t seem to remember what they were or references to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
