Celtic and Ancient Coins

Heraclius, eagle with spread wings countermarked on Justinian I, Follis (MIB 84), Syria/Palestine, c. 629, 15.69g/7h (MIB III, pl.15, Km 3; Qedar, Copper coinage of Syria, INJ 10, 1988-9, p.38, 3 and pl.4, 3). Coin fine, countermark very fine, rare £200-300

The revalidation of this issue with the use of a countermark is probably to be associated with the reconquest of Syria and Palestine in 629
