help ID'ing Byzantine coin
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:03:15 pm »
ok,  it's official,,, I'm terrible with Byzantine coins as far as IDing them  (LOL  yes even worse than Provincials)

what I have here is still in progres as far as cleaning goes,  but  all the detail is visible

the coin itself  is 15-18 mm 1.4 grams

thanks in advance for any help

and as far as Iding these,   is there a trick for these that I haven't figured out ?

Hi Johnny,

looks like a Latin Emperor's issue - Sear #2047 (small module Type D)

There is one trick for identifying these that usually works.  Most roughly-clipped trachea like this are Latin trachea.  That helps narrow it down a bit.
