<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4046347, member: 96898&quot;]Your coin is from medieval Bulgaria, similar to Moushmov 7462 (your monogram is a bit different, see <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/bulgarian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/bulgarian.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Moushmov attributes it to Ivan Asen II (1218–1241).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are an image of the plate coin and Moushmov&#039;s description:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1061224[/ATTACH] </p><p>&quot;Obv: In the middle of the coin is a long vertical line, w above; I (?) and a to left; traces of μρ to left. On the right side of the vertical line, next to the letter a is the letter c, and next to it – ligature of μ ρ, erased letter H(?) above, and a sign beneath end of the central line abd which is coiling around the main line, and which together maybe means ћ and л? All means IwaHъ ACћHъ μаρъ. (Monogram 84). </p><p>Rev. : Bust of Christ facing, IC – XC to left and right. The coin is very thin; this coin is in the National Museum and is in section of uncertain Bulgarian coins.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Altogether, that&#039;s quite a scarce medieval coin that I (but very few other people) get excited about. May I ask where you got it from?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
