trying to find references on this can you send any links ?
I also borrowed this link from
Forvm as I think it is the same coin you mentionned, ( without the overstriking ,cupping and the letter under the M )
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=12849q00.jpg&vpar=677&zpg=11006is this it ?
I am also including the latest scans of this coin . this is as far as I want to go WRT cleaning..managed to thin the
patina at some places and ( removed it ....oops ) in others.
oh and one last question if I may, in your opinion, what was the original coin used before the restrike ? I was thinking
Maurice Tiberius. Phocas did not seem to make too many
Follis of this
type as far as I can tell, and
Maurice Tiberius had some coins minted with the
reverse identical to this re-striked one
I was looking at it, after I read your last post , and believe the
side indicating
follis ( big M ) is original and just the OBV was restruck. this would explain the curves facing that direction would it not ?
I thank you for your
helpcheers
