I have to rely on you and the coin being in-hand. I could swear I see FL at the beginning of the obverse legend, but hey, you have the coin there. The possible RIC attributions are outlined above and without any further evidence, I think we have taken this as far as we can.
jwharper- Thanks for all of the help. I'll try to stick to it and see if suddenly I am able to read the legend. But I'm still pretty stumped at this point.
ValiantKnight- I wish that I could, but I bought it from Dirty Old Coins as a cleaned coin from the Balkans. So I think that it has been already cleaned and Ren Waxed.
Ah ok. My only suggestion at this point would be to come back to it at some point in the future, give your eyes and mind a rest from it. If the first time fails to identify it, you may discover something else about the coin a second time around that will help identify it. A lot of unidentified coins I had I managed on later tries to see other things about them that helped me attribute them, a letter that looked like a D the first time around may look like an O when you go and look at it again, that kind of thing.
ValiantKnight- good point! I'll give it a break and see if I can decipher some of the mess of overlapping text in the future. I'll let you guys know if anything is revealed down the road.
