ARAB-BYZANTINE: Justin & Sophia type, ca. 675-700, AE follis (6.52g), Gerason (Jerash), "year 12", A-3509.2, twin figures derives from Justin & Sophia / capital M, reverse exergue off flan, mint name AB to left of figures on obverse, bold Very Fine, RRR, from an American collection. Similar to Goodwin, 2005, #34 on the obverse, but retrograde, with an previously unpublished reverse, but a specimen from the same dies was recently published by Nayef G. Goussous, Rare and Inedited Umayyad Copper Coins, Amman 2004, #467. What looks like "AB" is actually "ASO" from the Greek name of the mint Gerason. The overall style is typical of Gerason.
