echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 2:10 pm The first coin is supposed to be an AV hyperpyron of Michael VIII Palaeologus. The coin is supposed to be gold but from the image you coin looks silver. The type is supposed to be Sear # 2243. This is a valuable type if real. I think yours is a copy. The second coin is supposed to be an AV histamenon of Basil II, again the coin is supposed to be gold and this looks silver, similar to Sear 1800, again a valuable type if real which this also appears to be a copy.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 2:14 pm On the second coin I just noticed on the obverse that it is stamped 925 which confirms that its a copy. I'm sure if you look more closely at the first coin you will find a similar mark there too. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 7:35 pm If they really are made of sterling silver as they are stamped, then they're worth silver bullion value. They have no interest for coin collectors. 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.
