Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 5:59 pm The colour is odd but it might come from the cleaning agent used. Looks like a Follis (the "M") from either Constans II or Constantine IV (can't really make out the portrait on the obverse [and don't have my catalogue on hand] minted in the third officina (Gamma) at the Constantinople mint with regnal year 6 (?). Hope a moderator moves this to the ancient coin forum where someone can give you a better attribution. Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 8:52 pm The bust looks like its facing right, right? Its because the obverse image is upside down. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 9:01 pm Good catch VK, that's why it looked so odd. I put the obverse right side up and enhanced the obverse a bit. I wish the dark crude was covering the face. My best guess is Tiberius II Constantine. SB 430 Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 9:21 pm And due to the long legend, this is probably Tiberius Constantine. I think I see TIB on the obverse as well. Report this Post to the Staff
