Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 07:01 am I'm afraid we'll need clearer details - and it looks like your scanner is having trouble with 3D objects like these coins. You might need to try a camera rather than a scanner. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 08:20 am Need a clearer picture for the first coin. The second one is a clipped trachy from the time of the Latin rulers 1204-1261. Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 12:35 pm Yes, Isaac II, SBCV 2033. You can see the Î"Î•C to the right of the emperor on the rev. If it was Alexius then it would have left hand on hip and no legend surrounding. Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 09:26 am The 2nd Trachy, which is clipped, is most like those issued during the "Crusader" occupation of Constantinople (1204 - 1261 AD).
