[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 7295224, member: 74222"]Byzantine Empire produced some nice “cup”-styles coins from around 1100 and onwards. They are nice and affordable, and easy to identify. But after the 1204 sack of Constantinople the Byzantine Empire was literally shattered, and from that point their cup-coins became very hard to identify. So, the matter stood that I purchased a byzantine lot for some few years ago. In it there was a so-called “trachy” that I could not identify. I was sure it was struck after 1204 due to its crudeness. I am talking about that coin: [ATTACH=full]1276451[/ATTACH] It is 2.5 cm. Note I have outlined some patterns with red because my camera could not catch it. Can anyone tells me whether my coin is a Theodore I Comnenus-Lascaris of the Nicaea-state (Sear 2069) like this: [URL]http://labarum.info/lbr/show.php?coin=20690[/URL] .. Or whether it is actually a Bulgarian imitation (from the auction of Numismatik Naumann): BULGARIA. Second Empire. Ivan Asen II (1218-1241). Ae Trachy Obv: IC - XC. Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator. Rev: Ivan Asen and St. Demetrius standing facing, holding between them a star-tipped staff.
