wow, there are some awesome looking coins starting to roll in!! dougsmit => sadly, I only own "1" Byzantine coin (*sigh*) Eng5858 => that's a pretty Manitoba coin, but I don't think it can be entered in this Byzantine SMACKDOWN ... but maybe you can enter it when we have our: => "Coins from awesome places around the globe" SMACKDOWN?

Eng5858:
That first obverse image you have doesn't look Byzantine to me. I see DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG legend.

I don't own a single Byzantine coin.  Guess, I will just sit back and enjoy  Masis with a left right combo for the knockout!!  |

I own two, Byzantine coins, but to put them up against that gold one of Masis would be like the proverbial skinny kid on the beach. I really never have collected Byzantine coins , but, I'll tell you what, that Bison-tine coin of Eng5858 sure is a fine specimen.
