Ae 12 nummia, large module
Alexandria, 618-628
S. 856; DO 192
16.37 gm, 27 mm
Struck for Khusro II, but using modified types of Heraclius. There are 2 sizes, the usual small ones (mine is 5.9 gm, 18.5 mm) and these larger module ones, about 4 times as heavy and double the diameter. How the two were valued against each other is a mystery.
