An unidentified coin, possibly a two nummus piece of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I (AD 527-65) or the Ostrogothic king of Italy, Theoderic (AD 493-526). There does appear to be a B on the reverse. The B on Byzantine coins stands for two nummi and is used on coins struck at Carthage, AD 533-8 (MIBE 190) and at Thessalonica, AD 527-38 (MIBE 177). In Ostrogothic Italy, Theoderic's 2 nummus coin from Rome, c. 493-518, has an R on the reverse which looks like a B (Metlich 80b). These coins are all scarce in the Mediterranean and none of them has ever been found in Britain. However, …

Copper Byzantine pentanummium (5 nummi) (c.AD 498-641) with facing helmeted bust on the obverse and possibly a large E or Monogram type with a cross on the reverse, both obscured by fossil accretion, which looks like pale corrosion product. There is a large variety of pentanummia from the reigns of Justinian I (527-565) to Heraclius (610-641). The coin is most likely to have come from this period (Sam Moorhead pers comm).
