This is a
follis of
Constans II, (
Sear 1011). The vertical letters to the left of the emperor give the regnal year: I see X X ? The bottom symbol looks like another X to me, but
XXX won't do as a regnal year.
Sear gives X X
as the only noted combination, but I can't read that as a
- or as any other letter that would make sense in that position. So I conclude that the symbol I'm reading as the top X isn't an X but actually the top of Constans' long
cross, which has 'fallen over' - leaving just XX as the regnal year. Is that right, or have I missed something?
