<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 92090, member: 3565&quot;]I picked up two coins today that some of you might find interesting.First is a Follis struck under Romanus III in 1031.It doesn&#039;t bear his name or likeness but has a portrait of Christ on one side and the &quot;King of Kings&quot; inscription on the other.What I liked about this was the extreme crispness of the lettering,almost no wear.</p><p>The second is a cup shaped coin of Manuel I Comnenus from 1155-58,called a Scyphate Trachy.I&#039;m not sure why they made them like this,possibly for ease of stacking/storage.Anyone know? I just think they look cool![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
