Early Medieval copper alloy Byzantine follis, probably of Constans II, AD 641-668?, possibly dating to c. AD 641-50. Probably Mint of Constantinople. The obverse shows the emperor facing holding a long cross (or similar) and a cross on globe. The reverse is probably a large M, traces of which might be visible. The coin is probably an overstrike on a very crudely cut flan and is worn. W. Hahn, Moneta Imperii Byzantini Vol III (Vienna 1981), pl. 28, cf. 162ff.

Copper-alloy nummus of Constans II (AD 641-668), Standing emperor and large M, Constantinople, possibly AD 655/6. cf. Dumbarton Oaks Catalogue Vol II, Part 2, p. 452, 75-76. The coin is overstruck or double-struck and this identification is tentative. This is a very unusual coin to find in Suffolk, unless it is a modern loss (e.g. from a coin collector). Particularly unusual is the fact that it is not pierced or mounted in any way.
