vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 05:55 am I just got this coin recently with some other coins in my collection. It looks like a byzantine piece but in crusader period these type of coins were also minted. I was wondering if anyone recognize this one? Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 5:55 pm Could this be a Romanus III follis with the reverse pic upside-down, so that the upper line of IS/XS is reading here as X/S? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 6:21 pm That's what I thought at first, but I couldn't get it to match with his stuff. Maybe if the reverse was cleaned a bit more. Report this Post to the Staff

Just for comparison, here are a few Romanus III folles, with reverses - including the X/S at the bottom of each - shown upside-down. Vince's coin is is cropped, or at least has a small flan. Perhaps we just see this portion of the reverse and cross? Report this Post to the Staff
