• History Of Use

  "Follis" (denomination); DO# 181 ?; Sear# 1110 ? Monogram corresponds to number 35 in Sear catalogue. Constantine IV on the obverse may be in a diagonal position because the coin was poorly stamped, or he could be an unknown figure from a previous coin, meaning the coin was overstruck.
