chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 5:32 pm no, it's a queen, not a king. they do call coins with this obverse type "octopus king" coins...and some do represent kings. the multipe legs are actually part of garment of clothing or part of a throne the person is sitting on...depending on which coin expert you ask. I'm not an expert...so don't ask me. she regined (two seperate times) between 1197 and 1212 ad. Report this Post to the Staff
