january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 05/23/2012 3:59 pm In case you were wondering what it is: a follis (40 nummi) from the early Byzantine Empire. Seems to be in very bad shape (but from the look of the picture it's just as likely that it's the picture that's in very bad shape and the coin is... well, not that bad). Can't say anything else without the other side and/or less blurry pics Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/23/2012 7:53 pm to the community As was indicated in one of the other replies this is a Byzantine folles. The large M on the reverse is the Greek letter for 40. We would need to see the obverse (front) on the coin to be able to tell you who it is. If you can take clearer and closer pictures that will help also. Report this Post to the Staff
