Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 12:06 am Echizento is the expert on these. I do see a globus cruciger on the obverse. Constans II perhaps? Or perhaps an Arab-Byzantine imitative? I'm sure Ron will chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
arnoldoe Valued Member Canada 266 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 12:29 am It is probably a tetarteron or a half tetarteron similar to http://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=305999 possibly not that same coin, but it is likely minted in the 1100s....
