Ancient Byzantine Gold Certified by NGC
(Dates Ranging from 527 - 668 A.D.)
By the mid-5th Century, much of the Western Roman Empire was dissolved through centuries of invasion and political disruption. In the east, however, Roman cultural traditions continued to flourish in what became the Byzantine Empire which
remained a powerful economic and military force until being conquered by the Turks in 1453.
The Byzantine Gold Solidus
The principal Byzantine gold coin was the "solidus", which typically weighed 4.4 grams of gold or more. For nearly a thousand years, each emperor struck their own version of the gold solidus with modified designs and inscriptions.
Each obverse design displayed the reigning monarch wearing military or court regalia while the reverse had a wider variety of designs like angels, the goddess Victory, or crucifixes. Remember, n
o two coins are exactly alike since each one was struck by hand 1,400 years ago. Given their history, high grade, and relatively high gold content, we think these Byzantine gold solidus coins are a great value in the current market.

We have five different rulers available, with dates ranging from 527 to 668 AD. You can view each coin with pictures and full descriptions

We also have a very small number of five-coin sets. If you decide to acquire all five, we'll put them in a wooden display case at no extra charge to you. You must call to reserve these sets as supplies are very limited.
All of the coins have been graded and authenticated by NGC Ancients. In order for us to offer these for such low prices, we decided to have the grading service authenticate each coin as genuine and not assign a specific grade to them. As you can see, their detail is remarkable and they're very high-end.
It's rare that we can offer such interesting, high quality, ancient gold coins for under $1,000. Call 1-800-928-6468 now or visit our website to secure your order.
