Notes on post-EBCC coins
2235.17: The second officina is not noted in MIB.
2299.18: Rare. Cursive m with ”cross-bar” and K
above - not noted in MIB. A variety of Class 4 has Regnal year 3 (643/4) only been published once - in an article by Simon DOC - ; 6.30 gms; EBCC - ; 2105.16 Bendall in N.Circ., 1997 pp. 198-200. Where the date is visible, it has always been year 7. Ravenna 20 nummi Goodwin: “Although the dies for this variety seem
to be reasonably well-engraved, it is usually (as in DOC Class 1 (644-647) (MIB 226) this case) very carelessly overstruck on an ‘Inper const’ type. The Inper const coins are only really found in Syria, so did they go back to Constantinople to be overstruck? This seems a bit unlikely, so is this barred m variety some sort of
Byzantine military issue struck in Syria during an Regnal year 4 (644/5) unrecorded campaign?”

excavations of the necropolis at Antinoopolis.
