thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 5:39 pm This is an oddly shaped coin. I wonder if it was cut to this size at some time, or if they made it like that? It is 22mm at the widest. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 5:47 pm It looks Byzantine and does appear to be clipped an over struck on another coin. It appears to be a follis from the Constantinople mint but I can't tell who the emperor is. Report this Post to the Staff

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 06:24 am I have a very similar style coin that is a bit of a puzzle also, I am fairly sure that it is M.Tiberius/ struck over an old coin & clipped to the correct weight. These do tend to be from Nicomedia though, if you check the back catalogue of sold coins for M.Tiberius on FAC there is 1 with a cert from D.Sear which has many similarities. The overall style of these coins is very crude at best, with the legends normally badly struck. Heres mine Not the same as yours but a lot of similarities in style and crudeness. Hope this helps.
