A follis and half follis of Maurice Tiberius. Reigned 582 to 602. Note that the two sets of images are not to scale, due to my limited photo capabilities. The half follis is from the seventh year of Maurice Tiberius' reign; the follis from year 11.

    Nice examples. What is the mint for the half follis? I'm familiar with most of the mint marks from this period, but I'm not quite sure what to make of the half follis from the image. Is that an R for Rome (or Ravenna?), or is that an officina mark below the denomination?

    No mint mark. It appears to be the B officinal. I will post a full image.
