Yet another one! My foray into the Byzantine world has not been enjoyable. I think that I will leave it there and not try to fill the 'gaps', anymore. Thank you, everybody.

I have this coin that was described to me as Alexius 1 Komnenos, however I am unable to confirm this. Is that because it is NOT Alexius 1 Komnenos? AE18.2mm., 4.1gm.

Until recently I had a useful tool that enabled me to crop a 'screenshot'. From memory, I think it may have been called 'Ashampoo Magical Snap'. Despite half a day of searching I cannot find it, again. Can someone, who knows what I am speaking of, please provide me with an 'address' for it? . . . . . (Not 'Snippy') Thank you.

I don't have a clue of what I am looking at here. Can someone help me please? I have this 1.89gm., AE18.4mm. coin and I really don't know where to start with it. I am hoping that it will ring someone's bells as to what it is and/or where it has come from. Any help is appreciated, thank you, (in anticipation).

@JeandAcre Thank you for letting me know of the coin's arrival. I hope that it will provide enjoyment to you.

@maridvnvm Thank you, Martin. You have confirmed my suspicions. I appreciate your work. I am old enough to remember when the 'crooks' wore masks and black hats, but . . . (Obviously low investment coins, but still annoying.)

Thank you, people. The more I know, the more I don't know. (Ahh. Once said . . ."Ignorance is bliss.")

Posted to the address given. Enjoy

I like the concept of "paying forward".

@JeandAcre If you would like to send your address to me, I would be happy to 'gift' the coin to you.

I am confused, (it doesn't take much), I have this Greek coin that (no doubt) is :- Greek Pontos, Amisos. Circa 85-65 BC. AE Aegis with Gorgoneion in centre/Nike advancing right, holding palm; My confusion is that, by far and away, the most examples of this coin (that I can find) have the legend 'AMI-ΣOY' on them, but mine does not. My coin has 'MA-NΩ[A], (with monograms left and right below). I have found at least four examples (on Acsearch) like mine, But ALL of the 'houses' that have posted them state that the legend says 'AMI-ΣOY' when clearly that is NOT the legend on the coins that they have posted (see photos below). With this 'difference I cannot use their 'reference numbers on my coin, hence my dilemma. What is my legend and what is my coin's reference, please?
