Before dropping back another decade, I wanted to be sure to include this Nummus issued by the Vandal King Hilderic. It dates to between 523 and 530 AD and I have it attributed as Wroth 9 and Grierson 1.24. As I recall, this was one of the first coins that I posted to CCF (red background!) and @bobL helped me with the identification.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is a Byzantine Follis minted in Nicomedia between 518 and 527 AD. I have it attributed as Sear 88.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Neat! Here's my own Justin I, a pentanummium from Antioch (SB 111)...   A version of this type from April-August 527 AD, with the double portrait of Justin I and Justinian I, is said to be the last Roman pagan coin. Still looking for that one, or for the rumored version from Justinian's sole rule (catalogued as SB 240, never seen one with a legible legend even online, suspect it started out as a misreading of a Justin example). Have about half a dozen of this version now... |

Glad to have you contributing to this thread again with some of your cool coins. I'm not actually sure if I'd be contributing again anytime soon; we went quite fast through the 6th century and I wasn't quick enough at remembering which decades I had and which I didn't, but my (and not just my) coverage of the early 6th and late 5th century is terrible. We're rapidly approaching the point where we got stuck last time. (We should probably bump that one, by the way.) I wonder if there'd be a 3rd edition started if we manage to catch up... [EDIT: fixed weird typo]

Ok yes good point. I'll get the original thread bumped today. In looking over than one, it looks like we received generous help from @finn to get through the next few decades (starting with the decade of the 500-510 AD, which is where we are right now). I'm hoping that we can count on the same support this time around.

Yep here is my Sasanian Drachm for this decade. Mine may have a bit more remaining detail, but I like the encrustations on yours @palouche!   Starting tomorrow we can drop back to the decade of the 470s. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Looking for a coin from the decade of the 470s. If we get it, then we will have officially caught up to the 1st thread and I can lock that one.

We can't quite seem to catch that first thread, but this coin will get us one step closer. Here is a Drachm issued by the Sasanian King Peroz at the NI mint between 474 and 477 AD. I have it attributed as Goebl III/3:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
