CONSTANS II WITH CONSTANTINUS IV
Mint of Carthage
Solidus 653/654. Indictional year IB.
Obv. No legend. Crowned bust of Constans on l. with long beard and crowned bust of Constantinus IV beard less, facing.
Rev. VIC(3 dots)O – CII Cross potent on three steps. CONOB below.
Sear 1039. DOC 118ff. MIB 66.
4.37 g. Good very fine.
Ex Auction Frank Sternberg 15, April 1985, Lot 845.
Produced by a very primitive die cutter. The faces are practically all of linear strokes. The indiction year is not clear. It reads II, but is probably a corrupted IB. Perhaps this coin is the product of a "barbarian" mint.
