Merovingian copy of a gold solidus, dating to the 6th or early 7th century The obverse is obviously initially copied from a coin of Anastasius (AD 491-518), but the actual type with the emperor holding a cross on globe is later, in use from the reign of Justinian I (AD 527-68) onwards.  In fact, the reverse type suggests that the coin types are copied from a gold solidus struck at Constantinople for Justinian I (MIB 6), the prototype being struck AD 537-42.  The name of Justininian has been replaced with that of Anastasius.  Therefore the piece probably dates to the lat…
