ENGRAVER'S ERROR. Coin similar to CONSTANTINOPLE 62 from 11 (IA) officina except for letters in m.m. which looks like IΔ. But it is believed that at this time only 11 officinae worked in Constantinople mint. Probably an engraver's error.

NOTES

Weight 2.28 g; diameter 19 mm. From eBay, October 2009.
