I have been looking for a while for a decent example of a Byzantine coin to add to my collection. Finally I found one with reasonable details for a reasonable price :)

This one is in the post from Germany...

Very nice coin. I also have been looking for a nice example of Byzantine coinage, mainly one that has the faces on the obverse intact. They are often worn off much in the case of this coin. Although yours is well centered and with nice clear legends. Very good. Kudos

Yes with this particular coin it does seem that their faces tend to be indestinct.

This particular coin is not an exception but for the other criteria it spoke to me enough to buy it... its my first with such a patina and struck the correct balance for my needs.

Byzantium coins is the store to look at on vcoins, they have a wide selection of Byzantine coins.
