[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 3084442, member: 77077"]That is a great find, good work! I recently picked up one of Nicephorus III, Botaniates from [USER=91820]@Blake Davis[/USER] from his MORTOWN eBay store. [ATTACH=full]777321[/ATTACH] Nicephorus III, Botaniates. (1078-1081 AD). AE Follis. 4.90grams, 23mm Constantinople. [IC-XC] to left and right of three-quarter length figure of Christ standing facing, wearing nimbus cross, holding book of gospels and raising right hand, large star to left and right / C-F-N-D in the four corners of a cross with a large dot at the ends of each arm, circle in center containing large star of eight rays. DO 9; Sear 1888. This seems like a pretty unusual coin to me. Does anyone know the significance of the reverse design? What do C - F - N - D represent? Still have not dug out my real camera setup from the moving boxes. John[/QUOTE]
