Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 04/28/2026 11:48 am I agree Byzantine. Looks to me like someone tried to flatten out a Trachy and ended up with that ginormous crack.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 04/28/2026 12:54 pm Billon or bronze trachy with Mary (MP) enthroned obverse?

See this coin, for example: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=15458472 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
