jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 4:43 pm Here are a few more byzantine coins. These are low grade examples but just a few types that you can get farely cheap in this condition. These guys where very religious so these are actually some of the best coins to collect with Christian symbols and reference's to Jesus Christ. This first coin is a grasshopper coin(it looks like two grasshoppers). It's got a nice chi-rho on the reverse. -- JUSTIN II A.D. 565-578 Ã† Follis, Rev. Large M, ANNO to left, GI to right, Christogram above, Î• below, CON in exergue, mint of Constantinople. 14.9gm, 30mm.Â There is lots of crosses on these coins. --JUSTINIAN I A.D. 527-565 Ã† Follis, Rev. Large M, between ANNO and XXX, cross above, Î" below, CON in exergue, mint of Constantinople. 15.8gm, 31mm.Â This is one of my favorites for the price of Â£8. -- JUSTIN I A.D.518-527 Ã† Follis, Rev. Large M, star to left, cross to right, cross above, Î" below. CON in exergue, mint of Constantinople 16.9gm 30mmÂ I like the larger follis coins and these don't look the best but once you get the feel of these coins they are not too bad. Better coins can get pricey. I am getting some very nice coins next month so I thought I would bring some pictures of my coins out. -- JUSTINIAN I A.D. 527-565 Ã† Follis, Rev. Large M, between ANNO and XXX, cross above, Î' below, CON in exergue, mint of Constantinople. 15.3gm, 31mm.Â Report this Post to the Staff
oxos Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 11:34 pm Thanks for sharing those Jessvc1, they are very interesting and unusal. I have been looking on ebay at some of the offering in the Byzantine department. They have some pretty big coins they minted. Like yours some are well over 30mm. And to, the more detailed the more expensive. Of course that seems similar to ancient Roman and Greeks of all eras, depending on the ruler I think? Report this Post to the Staff
