Hey everyone,
I finally got around to creating a reference poster (of sorts) for the anonymous classes based on coins in my
collection.
FYI - the
Class A 'phases' are based on my research in the series that has not yet been published. However, they are similar to the
Class A 'issues' found in a 1989 paper by Vujadin
Ivanisevic titled "Interpretation and Dating of the Folles of
Basil II and
Constantine VIII - The
Class A Folles' target='_blank'>Class A2." In that paper, Dr
Ivanisevic analyzes
Class A1 and
Class A Folles' target='_blank'>Class A2 (which includes
Class A Folles' target='_blank'>Class A3), proposing that
Class A can be broken into 5 distinct chronological 'issues' -
Class A1 and then 4 issues of
Class A Folles' target='_blank'>Class A2. He also identifies which
Class A Folles' target='_blank'>Class A2 varieties belong in each issue. It is an exceptional analysis, particularly with the data available at the time.
I
hope this is a useful resource for some of you.
Kevin
