Do You Think This Coin Matches The One In The Catalogue? (Bulgaria)

@Spence Plate LXVI http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/bulgarian.html

I thought it would be Mitso Asen. @echizento

It is important to consider not only the photo but the written description. The elements which distinguish the type in question are 1.) "scepter or lilly" in right hand, 2.) cross in left hand. 3.) "μρ monogram" above scepter, 4.) "letter resembling M" below scepter and 5.) "cross and uncertain letter" above king's head.

Elements 1, 2 and 5 are clear on both your coin and the plate coin.

Element 3, the μρ monogram, is either missing on both coins or extends in part over the king's head. In either case, what can be seen of the relevant area appears to be the same on both coins.

Element 4, "letter resembling M", is not perfectly clear on your coin but seems to be present.

Scanning Moushmov's list, I find no other coins with this combination of details so I would say yes, it's a likely match. Moushmov 7581. Unfortunately, Moushmov's attribution is "uncertain copper coin" but you have a number. Some further research may find reference to "Moushmov 7581" in other publications with possible attribution(s).

I only think its Mitso Asen because I am seeing VERY similar ones under his name.

You have the coin in hand so it's much easier to see detail than what we are seeing from a picture. I'm not seeing the M, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its Mitzo. Thanks for your help fellas. (its a little hard to identify these coins when my Bulgarian coin books are still in the mail)
