Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 04:24 am I found this coin today in my collection, with a note, "Anastasius I 491-518 AD AE27, 6.39 gm Obv. ANASTASIVS PP AVG diademed and draped bust right. Rev. Large K, long cross to the left, (Gamma) to the right, Sear 25. Who are the two busts? It doesn't seem to be listed in my 'ERIC II', and I am unable to find it on 'Wildwinds'. I am totally out of my depth with 'Byzantine' coins. Is anyone able to add any information to this coin that I have never seen before, please. Edited by Topcat7 05/19/2015 04:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
