<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 26282975, member: 87809&quot;]Recently I won a multiple lot of 30 coins in which there are many medievals. I was interested in the lot because there were two Greek coins in it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;m stuck with several medievals that obviously have no measures nor attribution. Just today I finished measuring almost all of them and I&#039;m having a hard time trying to find the attributions.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one came with a flip that just says &quot;Armenia - Levon I AE / Copper Tank&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a great many Levon I coins in &quot;Coins of Cilician Armenia&quot; by Bedoukian that I found here: </p><p><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=7" rel="nofollow">https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=7</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The legends are in Armenian - which I can&#039;t read, I think this coin could be either B. 718 – 719 or B. 753-754 , but they all look the same to me.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here on p. 219 are the numbers 718 - 719: </p><p><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ptid=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=267&amp;q1=Levon+I+Tank" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ptid=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=267&amp;q1=Levon+I+Tank" rel="nofollow">https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ptid=uc1.$b687478&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=267&amp;q1=Levon+I+Tank</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin:</p><p>AE Tank</p><p>Cilician Armenia, Sis, 1199 – 1218</p><p><br /></p><p>27.54 x 28.47 mm, 7.544 g; 5h</p><p>Bedoukian (Coins of Cilician Armenia, p. 219 (pdf. 267) 718 – 719 or 753-754 (???) </p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: Bearded leonine head of King Levon I facing 3/4 to r., crown with six dots and single curl.
