Heraclius gold solidus1383 viewsHeraclius gold solidus. Dangerous forgery from a series that has appeared in reputable auction catalogs and listings. The reverse die is probably the same one as Sear's Byzantine Coin Values F35, which is found paired with several obverse dies. This obverse die is similar to the others in BCV but apparently not published. The origin is likely Beirut. This coin was purchased by a collector several years ago on eBay from a non-dealer.
