Byzantine Empire Constant. VIII 1025-28 AD Nomisma Gold NGC MS*

We purchased this coin on March 3rd, 2023 as part of a larger collection that consisted of many of these gold Byzantine Empire coins. Each of these coins made during this time are all hand pressed and designed.

This coin in particular features a bust of Jesus Christ wearing Nimbus Cruciger, raising his right hand in benediction and holding the book of Gospels in his left. The back depicts Constantine VIII with a long beard, wearing a crown and loros. Constantine VIII was de hure Byzantine Emperor from 962 until his death. He was the younger son of Emperor Romanus II and Empress Theophano. He was nominal co-emperor since 962. Basil II, his brother died in 1025 and left Constantine as the sole emperor. He occupied the throne for 66 years in total, making him the longest reigning amongst all roman emperors since Augustus.

We have been doing business at this location for 32 years and have never seen a collection of this magnitude and more importantly, of the sheer phenomenal quality of these ancient coins.
