Would love to have a coin of him, but have none from him or his dynasty.

how about a trebizond coin? I'm not familiar with their coins, but looking at wildwinds...it could be a theodore gabras or so?

Glad that I raised curiosity.  Not Trebizond, but the ruler under whom the coin was minted was a contemporary of Theodore Gabras. |

Final hint:
My reason for calling it 'easy' was that I posted a closely related coin less than 48 hours before making this topic.

How about a Crusader imitative, like this Baldwin II follis of Christ, from Edessa?  |

That Baldwin II is a good guess. I was thinking maybe the coin was Hungarian in manufacture.

Now that's one I never thought of, it sure does look like it. Phil I bet your right on this one.

Let's finish it off.
Crusader is right. But from Roger of Salerno in Antioch.
Since I posted CCS(94)#8 over CCS(94)#7 under 'R', I thought someone would remember.
The coin in the op is the undertype, namely:
AE Follis from Roger of Salerno, Regent 1112-1119 of the Principality of Antioch.
Obverse: Christ standing facing
Reverse: Cross, in the quarters DNE SAL / FT RO
As a final note, yes the coin is CCS(94)#7 but it was also struck over CCS(94)#5, a coin from Tancred (another one of whose I posted under T).

Thought it might trigger you or 'Ancientnoob' or someone else to try to get one coin from each of the imitators of Byzantine coinage. Personally I hope to run across some of them and pick up the odd example.
