When I checked on the internet I was able to conclude that the coin is from the time of Mauricius Tiberius Augustus - Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, I found a several similar coins but not exactly that one. I'd like to get information about this coin and to know what is the current value. Thanks :-)

Maurice Tiberius, Antiochia mint, 589-590 AD.,

Follis, bronze,

Obv.: blundered legend eg. like "ΠITITNC~ - ~ΛINTI·I P P v- ", his bust facing, wearing crown with trefoil ornament, and consular robes, holding mappa in right hand and eagle tipped scepter in left.

Rev.: large m between A / N / N / o and III / u (regnal year 8 (3+5), 589-590AD.), cross above, THЄUP´ in exergue. Sear BC 532 .

 

Following the devastating earthquake of 526 a cross appeared in the sky over Antioch. The city was thus renamed Theopolis - the City of God - in 528.

Regards
