Sold for $130. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

BYZANTINE. 5th-7th centuries AD. Æ 12 Nomismata weight(?) (38mm, 51.93 g). Crudely incised hexagram within concentric circles / Concentric circles. Edge grooved. Bendall –; Geneva –; Hendin –. VF, green patina, numerous light scratches, surface crack.


From the J. S. Wagner Collection.

An unusual piece as it does nott carry an explicit denominational marking. One might question if this was intended as a weight at all, however the overall form matches contemporary weights (save for the hexagram) and the weight of approximately 52 grams conforms to a 12 nomismata weight.
