<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4246948, member: 96898&quot;]Well, that&#039;s always the problem with these Sicilian copper denari. For my own collection, I tend to search for coins that have at least most of the legend, but I yet have to see perfect specimens where all letters are clear. Mostly, I therefore end up with compromise examples like the ones below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Combining the partial legends on your coin and the examples on acsearch, I assume that the legends are supposed to be &quot;.+. MANFREDVS&quot; on the obverse and &quot;.+. REX SICILIE&quot; on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1083947[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3"><font size="3">Kingdom of Sicily, under Konrad IV of Hohenstaufen, AE denaro, 1250–1254 AD, Brindisi mint.
