Byzantine follis-sequel [επιλυμένο]

3 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 169 φορές
Have a nice weekend colleagues.
I'm coming with another group of follis from Byzantine Empire. Again, I have no doubt about the authenticity, but I rather doubt my ability to classify these originally nameless coins.
They are not perfect but they are and it would be a shame not to mark them. What I'm a "numist" I've never asked about the price - it's irrelevant to me, and I don't have the means for the beautiful ones - perfect precious metals. And I want to play-this game of knowledge.
I evaluated it this way -who will refine or refute my info, thank you all.
Please about this Follis:
a,bronze, 6,42g, 31,26 mm


I think this: under ,, M ,, I see ,, A ,, and the mint is COM , it's just kind of bigger in size??
ND (612-613) II / I - Constantinopolis, 1. officin
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces132026.html

b, bronze, 10,38g, 31,55 mm



Lettering: (...... hERAC...)
I see ,,Niεc,,-in the mint, ,, under "M" is "B" , III
I think it's this:

I didn't find it on our website. I didn't find it on our website.

c, bronze 12,87g , 30,89 mm

40 Nummi - Justin II and Aelia Sophia Cyzicus
ND (573-574) KYZ B, 2nd officina; Anno ʕIII (Year 9)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces140382.html

d, bronze, 8,16g, 30,30 mm

I evaluated it here:
Michael IV the Paphlagonian (1034-1041)
Follis - Anonymous Class C Constantinopolis
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47703.html

e, bronze, 3,10g , 21,39 mm

I couldn't come here anymore and I was just looking for a match:
First Hyperpyron Nomisma (1092-cca. 1300)
Tetarteron - Alexios I Komnenos Thessalonica
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43199.html

f, bronze , 6,90g , 26,92mm

I have already published this one without weight and size, in the previous thread.
40 Nummi - Heraclius Constantinopolis
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces164917.html

And I promise I'll give peace, at the next auction I will buy one nice silver UNC again so that I can sleep at night.
Thank you all for your comments.

Heraclius was prolific issuer of coins that were re-struck from previous reigns. His son continued that practice as well. As such, there coins are a mess at times, but are identifiable with practice. With the restrikes, the sizes and weights vary, so:

a) Correct, but the mintmark is CON for Constantinople, RY 3 and officina A

Byzantine Empire: Heraclius (610-641) Æ Follis, Constantinople, RY 3 (Sear 805; DOC 76b)
Obv: ddNNhЄRACLI ЧSЄT hЄRACONSTPAV; Heraclius, on left, and Heraclius Constantine, on right, standing facing, each holding globus cruciger; cross above
Rev: Large M; Christogram above, A/N/N/O II/I across field; B below; CON in exergue





b) Different, but similar. Mintmark is ΘEC for Thessalonica, RY 3 or 4 and officina B Seems I don't have a handy picture of this coin from my collection z). I'll use the picture from labarum.info, so this is NOT my coin:



c) Correct

Obv: D N IVSTINVS P P AVG; Justin on left, Sophia on right, seated facing on double-throne, with feet on footstool, both nimbate, Justin holding globus cruciger, Sophia holding scepter, cross between their heads
Rev: Large M, ANNO to left, cross above, X/III to right, B below; KYZ in exergue




d) Correct
Byzantine Empire: Æ Anonymous Class C Follis, Attributed to Michael IV (Sear-1825)

Obv: EMMA NOVHL around, IC-XC to right and left of Christ, with nimbate cross behind head, three-quarter length figure standing, raising right hand, holding book of gospels in left
Rev: IC-XC/NI-KA in the angles of a jeweled cross with dot at each end




e) Byzantine Empire: Æ Anonymous Class K Follis, Attributed to Alexius I Comnenus (Sear 1901; DOC K.1)

Obv: Bust of Christ facing, wearing nimbus cruciger, pallium and colobium, and raising right hand in benediction; in left hand, book of Gospels; to left, IC; to right, XC. Border of large pellets

f) Correct

Byzantine Empire: Heraclius (610-641) Æ Follis, Constantinople (Sear-807var; DOC 92a; MIB-161.2var)

Obv: Heraclius, Heraclius Constantine, and Martina standing facing, each holding globus cruciger; crosses flanking Heraclius’ head

A gallery of my coins and artifacts can been seen on FORVM Ancient Coins
Nice weekend.
Thank you very much again. I see that at the test I would crawl out of abraded ears -but he passed the test. Hard for me who has not had experience with these coins in the past. I will correct the findings and rewrite the inaccuracies.
They will have their own album and a description of the history- A thousand years is a long time to issue coins.


Thanks
Ivan
