Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 5:44 pm I just acquired these two Byzantine Bronze coins which I believe to be Decanummiums of Justinian I (527-65CE). The first measures 22mm and weighs 3.88 grams. the Second measures 19mm and weighs 3 grams. The first features the emperor standing on the obverse and a large "I" on the reverse with stars to the left and the right. While the mint mark "CON" is quite clear, I do not see a listing on wildwinds for this obverse paired with this reverse containing the "CON" mintmark. The Second features a bust of the emperor right with a similar reverse to that of coin number 1. The reverse has a large "I" but it has "ANNO" to the left and the date in roman numerals to the right. I am having trouble reading the mintmark and finding a match on wildwinds. Any help with these two would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

I'd be more interested in what the Roman numerals are, but I don't think they're determinable; the coin looks pretty badly dinged on that side. Report this Post to the Staff
