Could also be XXXYI (= 37, IIRC); it's hard to tell. I'd guess 33 though, I'm not sure if Justinian's reign was even old enough to have a 37. I can't figure out the mintmark though. I think it's THEUP' for Theopolis (Antioch), but I'm not very sure? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 10:18 am Very good point @j1m. There does seem to be more than just a single I below the Xs.

SamVimes Valued Member Georgia 166 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 11:44 am @1m Justinian died in the 38th year of reign, so just about to make this engraving. Mintmark does look something like HUP, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
