Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 06/05/2021 6:42 pm A Byzantine follis, possibly Nicomedia mint. You can look here for a match: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sb/i.html or perhaps one of our members knowledgeable on Byzantine coins will be able to identify it.

LSM New Member Norway 3 Posts	Posted 06/05/2021 6:47 pm It looks like a coin from the Byzantine emperor, Justinian I, 527-565 AD (b.482 / d.565). I think the letters on the reverse side, below the M, says NI?, meaning NIK, having been struck in Nicomedia. I am no expert so I am taking a stab when I say that it is 1 follis, equal to 40 nummi (copper). The M is the Greek alphabetic equivalent of the number 40 Report this Post to the Staff
