NA? HH? reverse is badly damaged but I think I do c 2 figures on the coin weight 8.50 grams i know its not alot to go on but I come to know some of you are quite good at this :) Edited by dohcollector 09/27/2015 04:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

It isn't ONNOCON It is ANNO written vertically next to a large M and I think CON running horizontally below (for Constantinople Mint?) You are right some of the followers of this forum are very good with this stuff, I think you will get some answers. I however am not among those gifted with being good at attributions.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/27/2015 08:57 am I wish there was just a little more detail on the first coin, but from what I can see I believe it A Byzantine follis of the emperor Heraclius. The two figures looking at the coin are Heraclius on the left and his son Heraaclius Constantine on the right. I can't make out the date but it is from the second officane B and from the Constantinople mint. I believe it is SB-810 but I can't say for sure. I have no idea on the second coin though.

I think I see a star in the shield, like with this Justin II AE: http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=247501 http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...80000804.jpg Edited by Kamnaskires 09/27/2015 09:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
