This is the only coin in my collection I would not sell unless it was for an upgrade. It is a large (over 16 grams) bronze 12 nummia. The coin is of a Byzantine type that is common enough. The reverse features the number 12 and the mint Alex for Alexandria Egypt. The obverse the portrait of the emperor but with sun and crescent moon symbols. This coin was no ordinary Byzantine production but stems from the Sasanian Persian occupation of Egypt from 618-627 AD. The near destruction of Byzantium by 622 AD and the crippling counterstrike by Heraclius against the Sasanians in 628 AD weakened both empires and greatly contributed to the Arab conquest of Iran, Palestine, Syria, Egypt and much of the classical world. As a symbol of the beginning of the end of two empires and the rise of a third this coin is one I consider the most historic in my collection.
