Title: Unknown coin with "NI-KA"
Post by: DagonX on December 02, 2022, 04:10:27 pm

Hi!

I recently bought this small trachy. At first I thought it might be some byzantine emission, because I believe I see bust of Christ on the obverse and "NI-KA" on the reverse. I've checked catalouges and... no match. Maybe it's from Bulgaria or somewhere else?

I appreciate any help.

26 mm, 3,23 g.

Of course, I was so sure that it might be some kind of imitation or something that I missed the easiest answer ::) Thanks a lot!  :)
