orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 2:25 pm Just won this lot in the Solidus auction. Yes, I know they are not in perfect condition. However, I wanted the spear type solidus of Justinian and I wanted a tremissis of him as well. Now I have both. They both have some character to them, just like the past few solidii I have bought. Now I have to track down the Sear and DOC references. Please feel free to post your coins of Justinian or any other Byzantine coins. Justinian I. (527 - 565 AD). Lot (2 pieces): 1 solidus, 1 tremissis; Constantinopolis. Vs: Helmeted bust with pearl diadem, tank, shouldered lance and shield en face / Draped bust with diadem, paludament and tank on the right. Rs: Victoria with cross-staff and cross globe standing in front / Victoria with wreath and cross-globe going to the right. 3.90 g - 20 mm / 1.16 g - 16 mm. Small embossed weakness, antique cropped, graffiti, very nice. Solidus Chance auction 24, Lot 2358 January 14, 2018. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 3:47 pm Orfew. I'm having a hard time pigeonholing this guy. Is he the 12 Caesars guy? The gold guy? This historical figures guy? The Shakespeare guy? I guess all labels apply. Congrats on the latest, Andrew! Report this Post to the Staff
