Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3364978, member: 10461"]Conisder me jealous on that acquisition of yours.  My own intended Feuchtwanger purchase in that thread did not go through. Oh- nice Byzantine follis, too.  You're right- that's a great portrait. Here's a full-length Christ portrait (rather stern looking) on a ca. 1372-1438 Ragusa grosso.  (He's on the right- the other fella who looks like Tommy Chong putting up the peace sign is Saint Blasius.) This coin used to be part of my Eclectic Box collection but now resides in [USER=82194]@dadams[/USER]' collection. Medieval Croatia (Ragusa): silver grosso portraying St. Blasius and Christ, ca. 1372-1438 <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Ragusa-grosso-014290-coin-800x500.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/81824094" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/81824094" rel="nofollow">PCGS XF40</a>- population 1- the only example certified as of early 2019.
