Need ID help, Cross in wreath, facing bust
« on: August 25, 2014, 11:43:18 am »
Unusual Byzantine coin. Has a facing bust and a cross inside a wreath. 16mm at widest point, looks like a Rome mint mark?
Thanks!

Maybe one of dekanummi marked with I, eg SBCV 1336.

I am away from my references, but I agree with Pekka that the thick line is probably a large :Greek_Iota: indicating the denomination, and not a line to set off the exergue.  The attribution would be easier if the  :Greek_Iota: was centered and flanked by two crosses, but that seems not to be the case.

The coin could be Tiberius Constantine Sear 472 with the second cross destroyed.
If not we should consider it to be an Heraclius coin, since the emperor looks like him.
