This coin was struck at the Thessalonica Mint, bearing a TES Mintmark (for Thessaloniki in Greece)
This coin would grade around EF and has been sold as such, however, it has a piercing likely made during the late Roman or Saxon period (to make the large coin into a pendant/piece of jewellery). The position of the piercing will enable the hole to be filled or repaired quite easily. The piercing is part of its history and will be sold as such.
