Constantine_IX.jpgConstantine IX25 viewsThis gold histamenon nomisma was offered as “Mint state Constantine IX unpublished type, like Michael IV Sear 1824” in Poland by reputable auction house (November 2009). Withdrawn after information from auction. Weight: 4,3 g.
It isn’t in fact exactly like SB1824. We don’t have manus Dei. Coin looks strange and have wrong style. For example globus look rather like a ring and is to the two-dimensional. Crown is flat and “linear”. “The face also looks too dimensional - the genuine coins show the face in higher relief. The lettering is too rounded - looks like it came out of a tiny tube of gold toothpaste. The position of the hand holding the labarum is too high. The hand should be closed around the shaft, not with fingers pointing.” (Obryzum)

IohannesTzimisces-Histamenon-Constantinopel-AMS4-125-Sear1785.jpgJohn Tzimisces35 viewsSear 1785, highly suspect. Could be cast. Note the flatness of the lettering and the lack of details. Some of the holes look like casting defects, the many illogical nicks suggest artificial ageing. The edge has been filed at 5 hrs visible on the reverse. Some of the roughness does not resemble die rust but rather looks like a casting artefact.byzcollDec 08, 2009

GordianIv4.jpgGordian I106 viewsLow quality tourist fake, poor style, surface cast marks, obvious edge seam & mismatched dies. The obverse shows Gordian I but not in a style that would be terribly obvious without the legend. Gordian was emperor for a very short period in 238 AD. The reverse reads TR POT XI suggesting the issuer was in his 11th year of rule.
