Pentanummium - IUSTINIANUS I
« on: April 14, 2003, 06:05:35 pm »
It is my opinion that this Pentanummium is of the mint from Rome and attributable to Giustinianus I.

Am I in the correct?

thank

Rugser: Although not certain about this, the closest attribution I can find is Sb 338, which attributes this coin to Justin I, Ravenna mint.

This coin does have a certain charm to it, You did not list the size but if it is around 13mm I believe it is Justinian I Pentanummium listed in Sear as a uncertain mint. S 338 It seems to have a small flan so some things are not as clear, such as the legend and it should have a wreath around the V . Sear  338 BMC pg 53, 52-60 ( Justin I Ravenna)

Sorry , I missed that :-\  At least that confirms the small flan and the missing wreath. Nice photo for such a small coin. :)

Wercing

Pentanummii with V coined from the mint from Rome in the Hostrogotic period also exists
526-534.

I will return on this matter when I will have photographed them all. . they are with star above the V and without.
