Hello Simon well i hope the storm didn't make to much havoc, sitting here in quiet little Denmark it hard to imagine moving what makes out half the Danish population.

Well your coin it absolute lovely, especially the patina is just.    

Hope you and your family and the rest of your countrymen are save and okay.

Kind regards Kim

Thank You Both, I bought a few of these coins while  looking Alexius IIIrd coinage, this one I knew it was not A3 but it was just so attractive, I had to put it in my collection.

All is fine after the storm, much of Florida is still waiting to get power but it returned for me after a day.
