Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 3:59 pm Agreed, the M should indicate a Byzantine follis (40 nummi). I don't have enough experience in this area to identify it by sight, but you can look for a match here if you wish http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sb/i.html Or maybe another member more expert in this area will be able to identify it specifically.

The other option is an Arab-Byzantine imitation of Constans II - a coin imitating the Byzantine design, made by the early Caliphate circa AD 650 before the "standard" early Islamic coin design was invented. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
