I post this
follis of
Heraclius which I got recently.
I presume it is
SBCV 810. 28mm, 9.23gm.
I read the
obverse inscription - DN FO and wondered, how on earth does an F fit into
Heraclius? Then whoops!- it's struck on an older
follis of
Focas! Which explains Heraclius' rather odd looking 'legs'. After a little more research I realised that this combination is quite common. I suppose my question is, which
Sear number is the original
follis, and which the
mint?
In passing I'd like to say what a wonderful resource this
forum is, what a tremendous education it is reading the discussions, and how patient all you experts are with a dumb newbie.
