That is an exceptionally well detailed coin of the type but from a period that I can not attribute. What are you calling it?

This coins are little known. But also they are very interesting. There are bronze,silver and gold byzantine coins. Bronze coins have weak patina and you can damage patina only by putting coin in water. I had luck with this one.

This coin is from the Latin Rulers of Constantinople era 1204-1261. It appears to be Sear # 2036, bust of Christ and the Archangel Michael. Nice coin.
