Half follis for identification
« on: December 01, 2021, 05:13:58 am »
Hello! Please help me to identify this coin. It looks like Constantine IV (Sear 1179), Justinian II (Sear 1262), Philippicus (Sear 1456), Anastasius II (Sear 1470). Which one?

Thank you Byzantofil. How did you identify it? By which details?

I also vote for Justinian II. I am focusing on the shape of the crown, the high relief beady eyes, and the shape of the hair. This looks a lot like MIB 46.
