Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 3:08 pm Appears to be a modern cast of 6th century Justinian follis from Nicomedia. I recommend posting in the Ancients/Medieval board. Echizento is the resident expert on Byzantine coins. Edited by Kamnaskires 04/21/2017 3:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 4:23 pm The original coin was struck in bronze, this looks like something else. Out of all the Justinian I coins struck this follis type with the year XII and NIK mint mark is the one most forged. Even in bronze, this year and type have been forged so often that unless it comes from a reputable dealer it's wise to avoid. BTW it is a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
