    This guy has uploaded several of these on academia.edu; this is the latest one to show up on the radar. Having never seen a reference in print for the series, I thought it was pretty great. Especially with the full renderings of the legends, along with translations. Love that alphabet (evoking Amharic /Ge'ez, by way of their common origin, Syriac).

    My only coin of Cilician Armenia is this AR takvorin of Gosdantin (Constantine) III (1344-1362):

    A coolly late one, @Parthicus. You started at the right place! (All I have are the usual suspects, Levon I and Hetoum. --But it would be cool to see more of those, too.) Liking the king on horseback.

    Both of these were bought loose and only identified thanks to the help of all you folks at Coin Talk, thanks.

    The second coin attribution is wrong , that is Roupen I , the same as first one . From my knowledge, baronial coins attributed to Prince Gosdantin 1095 - 1110 are unknown .

    Uh-oh. Thanks for that, @VD76. The author does come across more as a(n intelligent) collector than an academic.
