Spence Moderator United States 34431 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 9:03 pm augemini1980, first welcome to CCF. Second, thanks for posting this mounted coin. As a gentle recommendation, you shouldn't clean or shine the coin. @echizento, I haven't seen that form of a letter K before. Was that shape common in the Byzantine Empire?

augemini1980 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 07:17 am Thanks so much guys, its kind of amazing you can still see the mustache or beard on the guy on the left considering the coin is 700 years old. Do you have any idea what the coin is worth, do I get to quit my job? LOL, I am joking. Report this Post to the Staff
