 Here is one that I used to own but sold a few years back. Theodore Mangaphas 1188-1189 minted in Philadelphia in Northwestern Turkey. Rare coin from a rare mint. |

Nice coin Echizento...and very interesting history again, thank you, VK! Can I bend the rules and slip in a couple of Arab-Byz fals? The first from Homs in Syria and the second, a rare one, from Jerusalem:   |

and probably Jerusalem as well, I wouldn't mind a Jerusalem Byzantine coin if I can get an inexpensive one, but right now I'm more interested in the western Byzantine mints. Quote:

Rare coin from a rare mint. Cool coin Ron. Didn't know Philadephia still struck coins into this time. Can I please see your Byzantine Rome coin now? Nice coins Valecrucis. I want to add an Arab-Byzantine coin to my collection (more specifically I really want the Standing Caliph type). |

VK, I thought I had a Roman mint one but I checked my database and I don't have one.
Those are nice Byzantine Arab's Val I don't have any, but would like to pick up a couple someday.

I hope you find a nice standing caliph one day, VK. It is worth waiting for a good one. I very luckily picked up the Jerusalem one here for a song. It's a pretty rare Walker 77 of Iliya (Jerusalem) struck about 660-680AD.

Not really picky about reverse, as long as it and the obverse is in decent shape. Of your two, I like the first better.
