Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-12 00:00:00 Pleasure Pryncess Byzantine coins are notoriously hard to identify, but this Sear volume is probably the best one-volume resource on the market. It gives a good range of all of the denominations, as well as line drawings of the more difficult ones to decipher. This is essential since the coins after Justin II are crude and very hard to read. The folles are the best type to collect, even though the size was dramatically reduced after Justinian.
