twood89 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 3:54 pm This coin weighs 9.74g, and is 28mm in diameter and 1.5mm thick. It appears to be an imitation type of Maurice Tiberius. I'm seeing a "X/X/III" date meaning "year 23" on the reverse, which doesn't make sense since his reign was only 21 years, thus backing up idea that its imitative. I also see an officina mark for "3rd" Officina. The mint mark is work off. Could this be an Arab Imitation? Any help attributing this would be most appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 780 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 10:10 pm I am having a hard time pulling the 23 out of this photo of yours. So I'd not be sure this was an imitation or not. Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 780 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 10:19 pm How about THEUP? Judging also the A slightly above the large M. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=920348 Report this Post to the Staff
twood89 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 10:30 pm Thanks for the help guys. Here are some more pictures of the date. The style of the face on the obverse looks quite crude on mine, with the chin being pointed in a triangular shape instead of the semi-circle I see on the standard issues. I agree that the "A" in "ANNO" looks Antiochian but the rest of the coin is still throwing me off. Tough one here... Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 780 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 12:16 am There are so many elemental nature exposure artifacts on this coin, can you really be sure you see XX III? Report this Post to the Staff
twood89 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 08:20 am I cannot be sure I see the whole "XXIII". But I am sure that I at least see "XII" the rest is unclear Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3259 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 09:06 am AE Folles of "Moe" Tiberius (especially those of Antioch) are pretty famous for having blundered renderings Many sellers don't even try to give the specifics in their listings This one while having a clear enough reverse is common though in that the obverse legend seems to have been rendered by either an illiterate drunkard or some type of idiot savant The seller was brave enough to describe the legend as reading thus ΠITITNSIΛΓIΛPPΓ (and in retrograde yet !) Backwards frontwards sideways and upside down it's still just gibberish If your looking for "specificity" try an emperor other than Moe IN GOD WE TRVST ....... all others pay cash ! COGITO ERGO SPVD I think ...... therefore I yam Report this Post to the Staff
twood89 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 09:42 am Thanks for the help guys. I will just attribute this as an Antiochian Maurice Tiberius Follis. Does anybody want to take a shot at the Byzantibe AE Trachy I posted yesterday as well? Report this Post to the Staff
