MonogramA design composed of one or more letters, typically the initials of a name, making a single character which is used as an identifying mark. Ancient rulers, magistrates, moneyers and even die engravers would sometimes include their monograms on coins. A ligature, which is two or more letters connected by a stroke, is a type of monogram but monograms with letters more completely united are not a ligatures.

Byzantine Monogram CoinsData Compiled by Howard Cole Transparent .gif Drawings by Pep The following drawings and attributions constitute a list of Coins with Monograms found in Byzantine Coins and Their Values, by David R. Sear, published by Seaby Ltd. in 1987. All coins with monograms are textually listed below. However, only the coins in BCV's Table of Monograms and the few others explicitly illustrated in the book are drawn below. This is a modification and expansion of an earlier table that Mr. Cole created listing the monograms by ruler. The coins in this article are listed by monogram number.
