echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 3:55 pm I believe they are Alexius III 1195-1203 billon trachy Sear # 2011. Obverse bust of christ facing (worn away), reverse Alexius and St. Constantine. Report this Post to the Staff
DagonX Valued Member Poland 392 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 5:23 pm It is possible. The seller only said that the first one might be John Komnenos Doukas (ruler of Thessalonica), and the second might be John III Doukas Vatatzes (emperor of Nicaea) - what do You think about this idea? Anyway, thanks for help Report this Post to the Staff
