an interesting Follis to id
« on: February 08, 2013, 06:55:37 am »
I need help to identify this overstruck coin. My first thought was: Maurice Tiberius

Obv: emperor wearing consular robes, legend blundered (?)
Rev: Large M between ANNO and regnal year ( = 4), beneath officina letter B.
The cross and other parts seem to be from the undertype.

I would guess Heraclius Constantinople overstruck on Maurice Antioch (S. 533).  Legends on the Antioch issues were usually garbled.
