[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3509634, member: 95174"]Very nice write up, I just stumbled on this old thread while researching Alexius III. Your coin is cool but it is Alexius I SBCV-1918 , very similar to his sons coin SBCV-1944 , The quickest way to tell in this case is the emperors garments and Christ seated upon a throne. Here is a John II, not as silvered as your Alexius. [ATTACH=full]930670[/ATTACH] and another not as nice but heavily silvered. [ATTACH=full]930671[/ATTACH] IC XC Bust of Christ bearded and nimbate wearing tunic and kolobion holds gospel in l. hand , pellets in the limbs of the nimbate cross. REV Bust of emperor wearing stemma divitision, collar piece, and paneled loros of the simplified type holds in r. hand sceptre cruciger. Note Var A has transverse stroke on shaft shaft and 5 jewel collar piece.28mm Your Alexius is harder to find.[/QUOTE]
