He hasn't been around for some time, but a PM to Zantetsuken may help.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thank you for the advice, dear Figleaf!

Correct.  There are several variations  of that particular coin, depending on the obverse and the monogram on the reverse.  Here are some of mine for comparison:

Bulgaria: Ivan Sracimir (1356-1397) Æ Trachy, Vidin (Youroukova & Penchev-119; Raduchev & Zhekov Type 1.14.14-15)

Obv: Half-length bust of Christ facing, orans.
Rev: Monograms across field.

Thank you for the information, dear Quant.Geek!


But my coin looks like as an imitation.
Let's compare portraits.

As I said, there are variations with very degraded portraits of Christ.  I don't have Dochev in front of me to give you a more accurate attribution, but they all fall within the same type...

Do you have information about weights of these coins?

Dochev does a better job in classifying differences  in these coins as the monogram varies as well as the portrait of Christ.  Unfortuantely, my copy of Dochev is boxed up in storage at the moment and thus I can't give you a precise attributions.  I do have Raduchev & Zhekov and they indicate it is about 1.1 to 1.0 g with a size of 18 to 17 mm.  Mine are 18mm and 0.5g to 18mm and 1.24 g. So they vary as the strikes are poor and the flan is thin...
