Constantinople Mint
Obv. - Crowned bust of Theophilus facing, holding patriarchal cross
Rev. - Facing crowned busts of Michael II (his deceased father) and Constantine (his deceased son), cross above
20.16 mm / 4.35 grams
A cast fake from Beirut. The main diagnostic points are as follows, courtesy of member DIN X:
1.Same scratches on obverse and reverse
2. same centering and flan shape, on yours it is slightly modified (a little bit huger flan) that you can see that part of the dotted border is missing due to bad centering of the authentic mother, so your coin can not be the authentic mother.)
3. Same flat struck areas on obverse and reverse on all coinscmcdon0923Aug 28, 2023
