Michael VII 'signed' follis (SB 1878) struck over an Anonymous Class G follis
7.5gm 25mm
This coin was struck such that the folds of Mary's garment around her left elbow are on top of Christ's head AND are just about the only clear design element from the understrike remaining on that side!
Christ's new hairstyle looks fantastic!

Emperor PiggySB 63 (Justin I) or 158 (Justinian I) struck over an uncertain "M" coin
15.2gm 30mm
What I think is part of the "M" from the understrike can clearly be seen in front of the emperor's face where the field in front of his nose normally is. In this case, the shape produced looks just like a pig's snout to me!

Domitian RIC-650Æ As, 8.53g
Rome mint, 88-89 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIIII CENS PER P P; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: VIRTVTI AVGVSTI; S C in field; Virtus stg. r., foot on helmet, with spear and parazonium
RIC 650 (C). BMC 417. BNC 454.
Acquired from Marc Breitsprecher, January 2022.
The Virtus type was struck repeatedly on Domitian's middle bronzes from 84 onwards. I. Carradice in his 1983 monograph on Domitian's coinage says the following concerning the type - 'Virtus is a military type, symbolic of the courage of Domitian and the mutual devotion between the army and emperor.' Virtus first appears on the coinage in the flurry of Germania Capta types that were struck soon after Domitian's German triumph. David AthertonJan 20, 2022
