The usual date arrangement for year 20 appears in the reverse left field for each but this is unlikely to be meaningful : Exceptionally crude and almost certainly a simple seventh century counterfeit gms; EBCC - ; 359q.90 Goodwin Class G-H - uncertain prototypes 5.07 gms; EBCC 28.4; gms; EBCC - ; : The coin is die-linked by reverse to 657b.99 and 2143a.17; and by obverse to the latter : Rare. Cursive m with cross-bar and K above - not noted in MIB. A variety of Class 4 has only been published once - in an article by Simon Bendall in N.Circ., 1997 pp Where the date is visible, it has always been year 7. Goodwin: Although the dies for this variety seem to be reasonably well-engraved, it is usually (as in this case) very carelessly overstruck on an Inper const type. The Inper const coins are only really found in Syria, so did they go back to Constantinople to be overstruck? This seems unlikely, so this barred m variety may be some sort of Byzantine military issue struck in Syria during an unrecorded campaign : Die duplicate of SICA 528 & Waage : Die-linked to and of unusually good manufacture gms; EBCC 22.28; : A die duplicate of The prototype may be a Class III solidus of Constans II. 23.9
