JP Koning's Blog Post on Byzantine Coinage


Recommended Posts

In his Moneyness blog, economist JP Koning recently wrote about Byzantine coinage and why many civilizations avoided denominating their coins. His blog post has a couple of videos worth watching, links to other sites, and is a good overview of the small denominations used in the Byzantine empire.

Interestingly, one of the photos used in the article comes from a post over at Cointalk by @voulgaroktonou!

I found my photograph's second life there interesting. I did not read the post itself, but only noted that the correct spelling of "Anastatius " is Anastasius. Caveat lector! 🙂
