Description
The "histamenon nomisma" is an ancient gold coin from the Byzantine era. Also referred to as "gold Byzants", these are some of the early gold coins to feature Jesus Christ. Goldline is pleased to present a limited number of these gold coins from the 11th Century - nearly 1000 years old - excavated from a buried cache in ancient Syria.

Design
Each ancient gold coin from the Byzantine era features an unusual c-shaped design. The obverse (on the convex surface) features a depiction of Jesus Christ sitting on a throne holding a Book of Gospels in His left hand and raising His right hand in benediction. A circle of light, also known as a nimbus, surrounds His head.

The reverse of this ancient gold coin (on the concave surface) features the emperor carrying a military standard and globe symbolizing world rule. With Greek lettering around the edges, these gold coins represent the unique mix of the ancient Byzantine Empire itself: Orthodox Christianity, Greek language and Roman law.

Minting Information
The most unusual aspect of these coins to the modern eye is definitely the c-shape design referred to as scyphate that makes them very difficult to photograph. No one is really sure why coins from this period were shaped this way, although some people believe it may have been due to the ease in which the coins can be stacked. Due to their age and minting technique, no two coins are exactly the same.

Gold Byzant ancient coins were the most widely used piece in international commerce for both their standard weight and the role of the wealthy Byzantine Empire in world trade.

Each of these historic gold coins comes in a beautiful presentation case and is available for $1,000 with free delivery and no sales tax.

We are very pleased to inform you about a remarkable find of historic gold coins - nearly 1,000 years old - from the ancient Syrian region: gold Byzant coins.

Goldline has truly never offered anything like this before. These ancient coins are actual gold coins and are among the early gold coins to feature Jesus Christ. The reverse features the emperor symbolizing world rule.

These coins are even more remarkable for their shape, which also makes them difficult to photograph. Slightly larger and thinner than a U.S. quarter, they are shaped like contact lenses.

 Beautiful Presentation & Free Delivery
Each coin comes in a beautiful presentation case and is available for only $1,000. There is no sales tax and for a limited time, we will waive your delivery fee. Even if you decide to add other coins to your order, we will deliver your entire order for free (silver bullion over 250 oz. excluded).

Very Limited Quantity
As you can imagine for coins so old and in such good condition, we have very few ancient Byzantine gold coins available to you today. And with a price of only $1,000, we do not expect to be able to offer them for very long. In order to satisfy as many clients as possible, we are strictly limiting these coins to two (2) per household.
