Triton XVI, Lot: 1270. Estimate $1000.
Sold for $2800. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

Constans II, with Constantine IV, Heraclius, and Tiberius. 641-668. Æ Solidus Weight (19mm, 4.40 g, 12h). Dated IY 8 (AD 664/5). Crowned and draped figures Constans, Constantine, Heraclius, and Tiberius standing facing, each holding globus cruciger / IN(ΔY) H (date). Apparently unpublished. Good VF, green patina.


While the engraved obverse design on this curious object resembles solidi of Heraclius, the presence of a fourth figure eliminates this possibility, as only two of his sons were ever elevated to the status of co-emperor.
