This is one of only two Roman Provincial issues with a definitive lifetime portrait of Julius Caesar. This is the first of those two issued, having been struck around 47/46 BC, a full two or more years before his assassination. The other was issued from Lampsacus, Mysia, in 45 BC. The first appearance of Caesar’s portrait on a coin struck in Rome, the denarii of M. Mettius, did not occur until January 44 BC, only three months before he was assassinated.

Byzantine Anonymous Follis: Class A1 - Imitative [002]6.03 grams
24.8 mm
Imitative anonymous follis imitating the official Class A type under John I. Possibly of Balkan, or Asia Minor origin. Struck ca. 970 – 980 AD. Double struck, with crude, retrograde, and/or blundered legends on both obverse and reverse.

See Lampinen Imitative p. 154 for a similar imitative pieces where he writes, "The second phase of Balkan coinage production goes into high gear with the introduction of the anonymous follis series during the reign of John I (969 - 976). The explicit Christian imagery must have struck a chord with the recently converted Balkan masses because the official mint issues were accompanied by a fair quantity of copies, to meet the excess demand. These Christian issues would also be the prototypes for the initial coinage of several medieval Christian states, such as the first Crusader issues of Edessa and Antioch, medieval Armenia and distant Georgia in the Caucasus."

7.25 grams / 22 mm

Obv. – Bare head of Augustus right. Legends around.
Rev. - Bare head of Herod Philip IV right; [L E] (date) across field. Legends around.

Philip was the first Jewish ruler to place his likeness on their coins. Neither of his brothers, Antipas or Archelaus, did so. Because Philip’s territories were largely non-Jewish, it was possible for him to do so without the kind of uproar that almost certainly would have occurred in Jerusalem or other areas more heavily occupied by a Jewish population.
