<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2557597, member: 19463"]I had never thought of collecting one of these as a 'foe of Alexander III' but yours does seem to be the right style for that duty. "Carradice Type IV" means the king is running with a daggar. The "(late)" is due to the king's clothes being made of straight lines up and down, I assume, which is a version I do not have. Earlier ones have more varied direction wrappings as below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550784[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I was a bit surprised in the quote of "SNG Kayhan 1031" since that reference is a great resource for minor silver of Turkey and not where you go for sigloi. I looked and Kayhan had ten of the worst type IV coins I have ever seen. The other types were represented by a total of four coins which were unremarkable. If anyone here owns SNG Kayhan, look 1031-1040 up and see what I mean. Thanks for pointing out I need to go shopping for a Type IV with that style clothes. I needed something else on my want list....right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
