<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3209917, member: 72790"]Yes, I was wondering how far that coin might have circulated from Nicaea. If at some distance, the bezant might have still been important in Mediterranean trade or, if in Western Europe, brought there by a returning Crusader but if close to the city, these coins, because of recent debasing and lightening, may no longer have had more than regional currency. That is one reason why where a coin was unearthed, its milieu, is important to archaeologists and historians as well as numismatists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
