Description

  • Coin
  • Both faces encrusted, but evidence of features revealed on obverse omega/rho monogram with lateral arms terminating in some features, plus evidence of raised border at circumference. On reverse: evidence of raised border and central feature that appears to be cross-shaped, but heavily obscured. Possibly coin of Constantine VII. This coin was registered as SF3972 in the numismatist's catalogue, so this record does not have the coin information module; this information is included in the publication catalogue module instead.
