SKU: ABC0046
Price: 24.00 GBP

Born in 630 A.D., Constans II became the Byzantine Emperor at the tender age of 11, reigning from 641 to 668 A.D. Despite his youth, he confronted a myriad of challenges, including conflicts with the Arab Caliphate and internal strife within the empire. In an endeavour to evade persistent threats from the Arab Caliphate, Constans II made the significant decision to relocate the capital from Constantinople to Syracuse. Notable for his initiatives to fortify the Byzantine military and his contributions to architecture, Constans II’s reign came to a tragic end in 668 A.D. when he was assassinated during a rebellion orchestrated by his chamberlain. We are offering these 40 Nummi struck in Constantinople on irregular shaped flans showing a beardless Constans on the obverse and a large M on the reverse, all have a sandy/earth patina, and they come in VG-Fine grade and are very reasonably priced.

12 Different Euro Countries 1 Cent Coins (12)

Back in 2002 12 European countries took the historic step of dropping their own currencies and introducing a single currency, which we now know as the euro. Although all of them issued the full set of 8 coins in the early years, it was not long before several took the decision to phase out the 1 and 2 cent coins and adopt a policy of rounding up or down to the nearest 5 cents. As with all euro coins, there is a common reverse side showing a globe with a map of Europe, but the obverse is reserved for national symbols. All these coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and many are not easy to find at all let alone in this grade.
