Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 4:25 pm Definitely Byzantine, but I don't know enough about those types of coins to be of much help without a few hours of research. We have a few members who know a lot about these, so the mods should move you topic over to the Ancients form soon. In the meantime, what does the other side of your coin look like? Byzantine coins usually have a monogram or inscription which can help to quickly pinpoint the issuing ruler. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 7:24 pm to the community It is a Byzantine trachy of what appears to be Alexius III 1195-1203. It would help if you would also post a picture of the obverse. The picture you posted is the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
