Description: Obverse: Bust of Justinian facing, bearded, holding globus cruciger in r. hand. Reverse: K.
Inscriptions: Obverse: No inscription visible. Reverse: ƧTO S. Officina: Є (5).
Bibliography: None.
Notes: Overstruck on half follis of Constantine IV. This coin, found in the Barber’s addenda section, and apparently not viewed by Hahn, is an unpublished type, but is iconographically most similar to the Justinian II Sardinian base metal coins, on which grounds I have tentatively attributed this coin to that mint. The ƧTO (or arguably ƧΓO) may indicate Carthage (still for Justinian II, first reign).
