I'm usually pretty good with Byzantines, but I'm going to need more info with this one.

That's a really nice coin, I had a feeling it was Bulgaria but I don't have any reference material for these coins. You can go again, being no one got it.

Justinian I, Not a lot of attention was put into facial features, so the faces tend to look alike on a lot of this coins.

Dang it, echizento, I was just going through coinproject.com pictures as quickly as possible and was ready to guess Justinian I.

In case it's not him, put me down for Justin II.

I want it to be Michael III The Drunkard just because of the hilarious moniker but sadly that's not him.

Sure looks a lot like this Justinian I http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...?coin=223183
