★ A very attractive weight of 9 nomismata of John ★

Byzantine Weights, Circa 5th-7th centuries. Weight of 9 Nomismata (Bronze, 26x26 mm, 40.54 g), a uniface square coin weight with plain edges and with the monogram of John. Ṅ Θ; above, monogram of IωANNOY between two crosses; all engraved in outline and inlaid in silver. Rev. Blank. Bendall -. MAH -. Pera -. Extremely rare. Minor deposits on the reverse, otherwise, about extremely fine.

Weights of 9 Nomismata or 1/8 Pound are, as Bendall notes, surprisingly rare, especially such attractive ones as this one with an official's monogram.
