I see

"TSAR CON....." and enthroned Christ on the other side.

Small silver coin.

14mm, 0.69 grams

Stylistically I had initially though Bulgaria or Serbia.

Anyone recognize the type?

thanks

Paul

Interesting coin! I agree that the rev is Christ enthroned with the typical IC XC inscription. The obv incription looks more like CONTE SAGAR to me. I don't have my books with me, but can check tonight for a match.

Perhaps CONTE LASAR? (SERBIA, Stefan Lazar (1371-1389)

Christ not enthroned in this one:

Excellent pointers. If you go to:
http://www.serbianmedievalcoins.com...ce-Lazar.php

and search for "J 151" and look at the description.....and the coin, I believe this is it.

All, thanks!!
