I know there are hundreds of monograms for the seals of officials. I was wondering if one might though be able to decipher what this one might be.

Thanks

These monograms will be hard to solve, as they leave room to many possibilities (X/N/M or all those letters). The obverse is possibly 'Chartoulariou' monogram, can't make much of the second one. If the reading of the first one is correct, that would have to be a personal name, possibly combined with a patronym.
The two monograms are the same, except for the bottom line on the 2nd one, adding delta to the monogram? So certainly A, O, P, T, V and possible I, M, N, X.
Regards
Gert
