Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/10/2016 08:51 am Got this in a lot of mostly modern world coins. I have seen something similar, but can't put my finger on it. Can't make much sense of the legend, but the overall fabric says maybe Byzantine or European imitating one of their folles? Fairly large at 29mm, but does not have the heft of the other Byzantine folles in my collection. I see a crowned bust right Patriarchal cross Edited by Finn235 06/10/2016 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/10/2016 09:02 am With the patriarchal cross reverse, it might be Cilician Armenia. Levon I? Edit: I think there's a brockage or some other minting error that's obscuring the "leonine head" of the obverse - but I do think it's Armenian, quite possibly Levon I.
