brockceratops New Member Germany 4 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 4:45 pm I have about 15 coins that are from a castle in Southeastern Turkey. I have only been able to identify one of the coins, but I now have 3 total that are clean enough to see basic details. Any help would be greatly appreciated identifying this coin: Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

There seems to be a figure or symbol on the side of the script or lines in the middle of the coin, much like the Byzantine coin I have: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/...s/sb0808.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Also any advice on getting it any more clean than it is now? Thanks Edited by brockceratops 12/10/2013 5:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
