    Seth77, that's as good an outline of the methodology as I've ever seen in one place! And thanks for making the table from Malloy public. That was a serious public service.

    ...Yeah, by some accounts, he was kind of the Slim Pickens 'Dr. Strangelove' character of the Frankish kingdom.

    ...Cost no more! ...And Seth77 was giving me some serious competition on that front. You're cordially welcome.

    I also have a Bohemond coin but not in as good shape:

    Thanks for summoning the nerve to post this, willieboyd2. Fact is, I for one like this one a lot.
    However impressionistically, any subclass that has the chain mail on the profile going this far into the lower left field just strikes me as suggesting a later issue, c. Bohemond IV or later. Effectively, c. earlier 13th century. ...A phase of the whole history which is as inexhaustibly fascinating as it is commensurately underappreciated in its own right.
    Sorry I'm no more fluent with the types, especially after the still recent, pronounced good luck of falling into a copy of the 1994 Malloy. (...And extensive xeroxes from a copy of Metcalfe, the later edition. ...From a public university, which subsequently withdrew the book's availability via ILL.)
