Goodwin Class I (circa 670): prototype a Sicilian

follis of Constantine IV

DOC 25; 2.61 gms; EBCC 23.80; 1559.11 Notes on post-EBCC coins

2146.17: Although the date arrangement is

garbled the obverse bears a strong stylistic

resemblance to the three preceding coins.

2290.17: As well as the stylistic similarities to the

following coin (2079.15) both appear to try and

indicate the signature of an Imperil mint, CON and

NIKO respectively. The usual date arrangement

for year 20 appears in the reverse left field for

each but this is unlikely to be meaningful.

589.87: Exceptionally crude and almost certainly a

simple seventh century counterfeit.

2143.17: The coin is die-linked by reverse to

657b.99 and 2143a.17; and by obverse to the

latter.

2299.18: Rare. Cursive m with ”cross-bar” and K

above - not noted in MIB. A variety of Class 4 has

only been published once - in an article by Simon

Bendall in N.Circ., 1997 pp. 198-200. Where the

date is visible, it has always been year 7.

Goodwin: “Although the dies for this variety seem

to be reasonably well-engraved, it is usually (as in

this case) very carelessly overstruck on an Inper

const type. The Inper const coins are only really

found in Syria, so did they go back to

Constantinople to be overstruck? This seems

unlikely, so this barred m variety may be some

sort of Byzantine military issue struck in Syria

during an unrecorded campaign.”

2148.17: Die duplicate of SICA 528 & Waage

2254.

2251.17: Die-linked to 2234.17 and of unusually

good manufacture.

2564.19: A die duplicate of 381.91. The prototype

may be a Class III solidus of Constans II.
