JUSTINIAN II (second reign), 705-711. AV Solidus (4.44 gms), Constantinople Mint, ca. 705. NGC MS, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5.
S-1413. Obverse: Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator; Reverse: Crowned facing bust of Justinian, wearing loros, holding cross potent set upon three steps and globus cruciger inscribed PAX. Just a hint of off centering is all that prevents this dazzling specimen from an even higher designation. Wholly lustrous and rather sharp, and free from any issues to the surfaces. A great overall example of this popular type.
From the Collection of a Gentleman.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
