Tiberius III, Apsimar (698-705). AV Semissis, Uncertain italian mint (?). Obv. D TIBERIЧS. Diademed (?) and draped bust right. Rev. VICTORIA AЧGЧ C. Cross potent on globus. Cf. D.O. 28; Cf. MIB 35-37; Cf. Sear 1387. AV. 2.01 g. 18 mm. RRR. Extremely rare, seemingly unlisted for this style in the standard reference. Warm patina. Light marks on the reverse. About EF. Given the style, the metal, and the presence of the letter C on the reverse, the attribution to the Syracuse mint is tenable.
