Roy777 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey guys, my uncle gave me a few coins he's found years ago, one of them is a Byzantine coin that I haven't been able to identify(year/name) - I can find the side with the cross but haven't seen the head on the other side anywhere, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 The mint for this follis is Nokimedia (or Nicomedia) since it's a profile bust and not facing and not a lage module it has to be Justin I or Justinian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply, I've looked at coins from the era you spoke about - http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=797 - There are some that look like it but couldn't quite identify it yet. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
