No prob--I'm really glad to help and somewhat amazed that there is anyone else out there with enough interest in medieval Bulgarian numismatics! I hope you will post some of your coins once you feel comfortable to do so. Here are a few prior CCF threads with coins that may be of some interest:

@Spence I will show some of my coins!

Also, I haven't actually gotten a look at the Yourouvka and Penchev book but it is mostly imitations, right?

Sorry but I was away from the computer. Not sure what you mean by "imitations"? Would you like me to post a couple of pics of the pages?

@Spence I mean does it have a lot of Bulgarian Imitations of byzantine trachys? That's mainly what I need it for.

Ok yes I understand now. Here are photos of the book summary and the descriptions for Plates 4 and 5. I think that these are most relevant to your coins. mods, if I am violating copyright law by posting this, then please take down this post (and accept my apologies to Youroukova and Penchev).

@Spence Is that an English copy of the book or is that just some English in the Bulgarian?

After the Trachys, Bulgaria moved to silver coins. These are covered too.

Yes (on the plates).

There is the one summary page and then the plate legends in English. Everything else is Bulgarian.

@Spence Did you mean the trachys are covered or the silver coins?
Sorry just very tired.

Trachys are mainly what I need the book for.

Both. I think that "Skyphata" = Scyphate = Trachy

Well, that is really a personal decision, but I am happy to tell you my philosophy. I would much rather have "the book" then not if I have more than a few coins in a particular field. For me the threshold is quite low.


By the way, that is the same price as I paid for mine in 2016.

@Spence I am just debating whether or not I should buy it. Unless you can think of a better book for Bulgarian trachys.
