Dear sari,
thanks for your posting.
I am sorry, but I disagree - at first sight I thought the coin looks regular, but I was confused because
this
type doesn´t exist as a
Heraclius type. That´s why I wrote " a very well done " imitation.
In fact your coin looks much better than the usual
Arab-Byzantine "
Alexandria" coins
I simply didn´t think of the first
Constans II ( or more likely
Heraclonas )
type.
After checking the fotos that are available of this
type I am quite sure Chris is wrong,
it is the regular
Constans II, Sear 1026,
Ratto 1318,
DOC (
Heraclonas) 7,
MIB 188=Oxford ( Ashmolean ),
( BTW,
attribution to the Persian Occupation is rather
obsolete anyway, the
Arab-Byzantine "Alexandrian" coins
have to be dated to the second half of the 7th cent. )
