echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 5:52 pm Nice coin, with the weight of 9.34 grams I believe this is a Class A3 Anonymous Folles attributed to the sole reign of Constantine VIII and the last year or so of Basil II, Sear # 1818. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 7:17 pm Well now that you have one, you are going to have to get more. There is a thousand years of history with the Byzantine empire just as interesting if not more so than the Roman empire. Report this Post to the Staff
