Nice one, of its type.

I don't own any (yet), but I think those are very cool coins.

What reference did you use for this? I have only two Byzantine coins. I do not have any of the trachy though. I have not pursued much Byzantine stuff because I really do not know that much about it and also I do not have a good reference to learn and be able to fill in the missing pieces of legends and what not to figure stuff out.

I can see the MP Theta V but I can not make out any of the Emperor's name. I would get mad and not want to work any further if I could not figure it out.
