Rare Byzantine coins in your collection
Edessa:
Heraclius, A.D. 610-641. AE Follis. 10.85 gms. Mint of Constantinople. Obv: Heraclius, bearded, on left and Heraclius Constantine on right standing facing, each wearing crown and chlamys and holding globus cruciger in right hand, between their heads, cross. Rev: Large M between A/N/N/O and Regnal year III (A.D. 612/3), cross above, officina letter A, in exergue, CON. Sear BCV 805. Fine, double struck.
Rare only in the sense that the double strike makes it appear to be an early issue with three augustii! Heraclonas did not actually appear on the bronze coinage until A.D. 638.

Monogram of Alexius. Rev Bust of Emperor wearing stemma divitision and jewelled loros of traditional type holds in r. hand jewlled sceptre and in l. gl. cr. 15/17
Only one known in a major collection located in Istanbul Turkey. DOC mentions and includes the type in the catalog but does not have one in inventory.
I should have asked to have this included this mongram with the list that was posted.

No problem Simon, new ones can always be added! Did I draw this one correctly?
