<p>[QUOTE="catadc, post: 3905198, member: 103515"][USER=95174]@BenSi[/USER] - you summarized well my struggle - when I bought the coin, I believed is one of the few Mary right, but then the other side did not match any ("DEC" orientation does not match the Alexius III above). I perused the Andronicus II&similar for "B on the left side", but in the end concluded that the "B" looks more like a "P over W", which does not leave much choice - the Sear 2015. The only problem is that the middle-right side of St George looks pretty bad and I could not see the three other letters on the left either... I will measure the coin later today and will try to take better pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>@<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/quant-geek.74799/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/quant-geek.74799/">Quant.Geek</a> - I paid 7 EUR for 4 coins, including this one.
