    I am trying to decide who the moneyer was that issued this coin?
    Assuming ROMA is what is below Prow, which is not all that certain to me,
    then I was concentrating on the above monogram, as I have noticed
    most moneyers used the top area for their inscriptions, I have attached a
    list of moneyers and their corresponding inscriptions for coins however
    this is just as I see, I am confident another set of eyes will have a better
    if not totally different view of the situation...
    Here as some links for some interesting ones I found:

    Please give me your best guesses and we will tally them up for a
    consensus...
