Recently, I was sent an image of an interesting coin. I wanted to get some reactions of what you think of the ID. This is not my
area of expertise, so all info is appreciated.
The owner suspects it may be a Georgian imitation of
Trebizond copper ( it came with group of late
Byzantine bronze). The
obverse has a ruler and what appears to be a Greek/Cyrillic
legend O GE
- R[G] - RIX, and the reverse a cross with a legend quartered by 4 (3 clearly visible) small crosses, that seems to read IH XC NI KA (though partially retrograde).
Best,
Levon
