I have checked several books but cannot find a match, I was thinking Roger II when I bought it but no match. The seller listed it as Manuel Comnenus its 17mm and 4.03gm.I No listed coin for Manuel. It is too complex and attractive to be imitative , at least the reverse. Anybody seen this type before?
Why isn't this a follaro or multiple of Ruggero II as Count of Sicily and Duke of Apulia and Calabria, like this or similar?
