A closer pic might ID the king, or even show us the date - these are among the oldest coins in Europe with dates on them. #2: no idea, sorry. #3: No idea, sorry. It appears to be brass; it might be a jeton. #4: It is indeed Byzantine. "IS" is the Greek-numeral denomination, 16 nummi - a denomination unique to the Thessalonica mint, and unique to the emperor Justinian I. There are a dozen varieties of this coin listed in the Sear Byzantine catalogue; this is the one with the chi-ro above the large letter "I": Sear# 178. In better condition it would look like this. #5: Late Byzantine scyphate is all I can tell from these pics, sorry. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
