Emperor Piggy
|
SB 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!
==> I've named this coin "Emperor Piggy"
