Byzantine Empire - Follis of Anastasius I, 498-518AD
Offered is a chunky 40 Nummi, or Follis issued under the reign of Anastasius I (491-518), struck at Constantinople (monneyer Delta), and issued as part of his grand currency reform in 498-518, Mibe#27, Doc#23f (vert). This example is fairly typical for the issue, displaying reasonable centering, as well as a thick antique patina which gives way to sandy encrustations around the devices of the reverse. A solid example of a historic and collectible type.
