Therefore, it is not possible to identify the portrait or the symbols on the coin. From the Mitchner reference above: \"This small hoard of lead coins was brought to London by a Turkish dealer in 1975 along with sundry Byzantine and Islamic copper coins from the Turkey-Syria region. Scattered additional coins of this lead series have been seen since then in London. The late Dr. G. C. Miles has also discussed the series.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll purchases include a Certificate of Authenticity.
