Hi, Can anyone help me with more information about this coin. I understand it's a pentanummium. But is it possible to say which ruler? 1.60 gram. 12 mm.
Not my area, but to share thoughts. Looks like no devices/symbols to the right of the epsilon, or between its bars. Also, I get the impression the obverse portrait is front-facing. If so, these things would - I suppose - narrow down the possibilities. I do see a pentanummium of Constantine IV Pogonatus that fits the bill. However, again based on what I'm seeing online, yours would be light for the issue. On the other hand, the ones I'm seeing appear to be struck on bigger/wider flans, which would account for the additional weight. Yours looks like it's on a much tighter flan.
But, really, I dunno. Too bad the coin is so worn. Hopefully, someone will pin it down.
