Hristova & Jekov, Markianopolis Addenda II

(1/47) > >>

Jochen:
Hi!

The 2nd edition of Hristova/Jekov's Marcianopolis is on the way. But the flow of new coins doesn't stop. So to avoid confusions I open a new thread for the newly found coins. The HrJ-numbers are referring to the 1st edition!

Here are the first ones:
