Constantine IX288 viewsThis gold histamenon nomisma was offered as “Mint state Constantine IX unpublished type, like Michael IV Sear 1824” in Poland by reputable auction house (November 2009). Withdrawn after information from auction. Weight: 4,3 g.
It isn’t in fact exactly like SB1824. We don’t have manus Dei. Coin looks strange and have wrong style. For example globus look rather like a ring and is to the two-dimensional. Crown is flat and “linear”. “The face also looks too dimensional - the genuine coins show the face in higher relief. The lettering is too rounded - looks like it came out of a tiny tube of gold toothpaste. The position of the hand holding the labarum is too high. The hand should be closed around the shaft, not with fingers pointing.” (Obryzum)

Constantine VI and Irene71 viewsConstantine VI and Irene, modern fake solidus of SB 1591.
Obv: Facing busts of Constantine VI, beardless, on left, and
Irene on right, both crowned and with cross between their
heads; Constantine wears chlamys and holds globus cruciger
in right hand; his mother wears loros and holds cruciform
sceptre in left hand; dot in centre.
Rev: Leo III, Constantine V, and Leo IV seated facing,
each wearing crown and chlamys.
Modern fake of DOC III 2; SB 1591.
- the crown is incorrect, Irene's hair should be in clear waves falling down on each side, not looking like pendilla, the fold-lines of her drapery are too crude, the arm holding with the cross on globe is only partially engraved
- on the reverse the crosses are too low, the drapery crude and simple, the hair of each figure is shown as pendilla or simple single lines and not proper hair.
Compare with these two on wildwinds: (SB 1591)
