hotwheelsearl Posted May 22, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hey all, my brother recently went to Jordan and picked up a couple coins for me, among them this M-follis. There's plenty of obverse legend, but I can't quite make it out. I think I see a "MAN" somewhere, indicating Manuel I(?), but it's a tough one that's out of my wheelhouse.

voulgaroktonou Posted June 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 25, 2023 From the style of the drapery, it is likely Heraclius, from Nicomedia, an example of Sear 833. Year 2, offiicna B. What's visible of the legend would bear that out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
