Watch List notes:

BASIL I with CONSTANTINE, 867-886. AV Solidus (4.21 gms), Constantinople Mint. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 2/5. Ex-Mount.

S-1704. Obverse: Christ Pantokrator seated facing on throne; Reverse: Crowned facing busts of Basil, wearing loros, and Constantine, wearing chlamys, holding between them a patriarchal cross. This handsome example demonstrates a good strike and the noted mount removal makes this a solid budget example of the type.

Estimate: $200 - $400
