    I recently purchased a coin as "Byzantine Bronze Coin - PALAIOLOGOS c. 1100 AD"
    My research tells me that if the 'PALAIOLOGOS' (family) reference is correct then the date must be wrong because the dates that I have found for that family are,
    Emperor
    1261-1282 Michael VIII
    1282-1328 Andronikos II Palaiologos,
    1328-1341 Andronikos III,
    1347-1357 John VI Kantakouzenos,
    1354-1391 John V,
    1391-1420 Manuel II Palaiologos,
    1420-1448 John VIII
    1448-1453 Constantine XI
    Now I admit to knowing very little about Byzantine coins and I would like some help with this one. (I only have seller's pictures at this time.)
    Is it Michael VIII?

    Michael VIII was the founder d. 1282. I believe yours is a Bulgarian coin though.

    Why did you create two threads?

    Bulgaria: Ivan Aleksandar (1331–1371) Æ Trachy (Raduchev & Zhekov Type 1.13.23-29)

    a type that is currently not in my collection. Here is one from CNG:

    and the Moushov plate coins:

    It probably is as the seller is a notorious fake coin peddler. The worst part of it is that this particular type is not that expensive...
