<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3058894, member: 74799&quot;]Thanks for all the comments!&nbsp; These little hoard of coins has produced several interesting coins.&nbsp; I decided to just use my trusty tape measure for measurements, but placed an order for a scale.&nbsp; Sorry for the late reply.&nbsp; Spent some quality time doing my taxes and photographing several of the coins.&nbsp; Too many to do and hence this is going to be a while.&nbsp; Here is one that got identified tonight.&nbsp; It turns out to be the third one known! </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Coinage of Uncertain Rulers (1204-1261) BI Trachy, Thessalonica? (CLBC 16.3)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: Full-length figure of Virgin nimbate, orans, wearing tunic and maphorion; holds beardless, nimbate head of Christ on breast</p><p>Rev: Full-length figure of senior ruler on left, with short rounded beard, and of junior ruler on right, beardless, holding between them patriarchal cross on long shaft. Both rulers wear stemma, divitision, collar-piece, and jeweled loros of simplified type, and hold scepters</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_CLBC-16_3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
