Here is an AE Follis from the Byzantine Empire that dates to between 518 and 527 AD. It was minted at Nicomedia and is the only coin I have to post for this decade. I also note that I have a hole in my OFED collection for 500-509 AD so am hoping for some broader participation again once we move back another decade. Or now--post them for this decade if you've got 'em!   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Last call for coins minted starting in the 510s. We will drop back to the previous decade tomorrow morning.

I'll probably be too late with this one, but I'll try to post it anyway. I had the post window open and then forgot...   Byzantine Empire, Justin I (518-527) AE pentanummium (5 nummi), Antioch mint Obverse: DN IVSTINVS PP AV, bust of Justin I right Reverse: Tyche of Antioch seated within shrine, river god Orontes? swimming below, retrograde epsilon to left Sear Byzantine 111, Numista 142661This is sometimes said to be the last Roman pagan type; in fact there's a very scarce version [SB 133] with portraits of both Justin and Justinian from their brief interregnum, and an even scarcer (or at least hard to distinguish) version from the sole reign of Justinian [SB 240], which truly deserves to be called the last. It is, however, apparently the last Roman pagan reverse type. (I've recently finally found online an example of the Justinian type that I was prepared to admit actually mentioned Justinian in the legend. Unfortunately I forgot where I found it.) |

Very nice addition to the thread @j1m--always great to have your participation but especially now as I know the relatively recent diaspora must make keeping track of your coins difficult.

must make keeping track of your coins difficult I'm mostly just posting the coins I had pre-uploaded pics of. All those coins are currently physically located at my former home in Moscow (which I hope to visit again eventually, but there's no current specific plans); I have no pre-1600 coins in here, and I doubt I'd get any soon, because they need to be officially registered and AFAICT that's a mess of paperwork. I do have several hundred uncropped phone pics (mostly of unidentified ancients) from my photographing streaks in late 2021/early 2022, and some day I might try to figure out what's hiding on those... |

Sorry for neglecting this thread for over a month. We are looking for coins minted between 500 and 510 AD. This is my first gap decade, so I'm on the sidelines unless I happen to pick up something to post.

October bump. We are looking for coins minted starting in the decade of 500 to 510 AD. For the version 2 of this thread, we relied on @finn to move us forward: http://goccf.com/t/306045&whichpage=33#3344665.I'll give them a little more time to contribute organically and then drop them a dm.

And also sorry to have missed the decade. But maybe a fortunate thing. I have a 512 - 517 Byzantine Follis - Constantinople Large M, 2 stars and cross - triangle/CON D N ANASTA SIVS P P AVG Anastatius I However, it is one of the five coins I purchased which includes the fake JOHN V. This follis exhibits the same sort of material and look as the John V, and now looking at the other three, I suspect that they are all stinkers, as you so rightly term them. More lessons learned, all on the same day! (The ebay seller was akhyu-0) The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

While creating a reply in the HFBCWG6 topic, I realized this topic has fallen down the list!  Also, if JohnConduitt is looking, we need your help over there!  |

What exists from that era? None of the roman/ byzantine emperors fit the bill (unless we have a more precisely dated one), not does the Sasanian empire work.

Well for v2.0, we relied on @finn with a Sasanian Drachm: http://goccf.com/t/306045&whichpage=33In this general timeframe, I've got coins from the Axumite Kingdom, Gepids (Ostrogoths), and Byzantine Empire, but none are datable to a tight enough range. My Sasanian coins are from either earlier or later than this decade so I'm no help. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
