arsaces New Member Poland 5 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 5:35 pm Thank You! I'v looking for anonymous folles class C, folles of Trebizond, folles of Alexius I... but my coin is similar only to the coin of Nicephorus Basilacius. In the obverse is in my opinion the bust of Christ, but in very poor condition. Report this Post to the Staff

arsaces New Member Poland 5 Posts	Posted 01/29/2012 08:05 am The follis of Alexius I is with a non patriarchal cross with plant or flover "arbor vitae"="tree of life". The cross have the others tips, so the reverses are others. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 9:54 pm to the community vladw2001, That reverse appears to be a very close match. The only difference I see is that on your coin the cross appears to be outlined and on the other it's not. That could be due to the wear on the first coin though. The is a 25 plus year difference between the two rulers, but the reverses are very similar. The only way to know for sure is from the obverse which is gone on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
