Whether it's real or not, this coin has me stumped. Could "TORFIN" be referencing Thorfinn Sigurdsson? Can't find **** for "GERDIS" and what's with the " : " between the inscription?
The adverse looks like your standard long cross but the inscriptions match no moneyers or mints that I can find. "ALY" "IKO" "NBR"? Also, the center of the cross is neither filled in or centered with a dot unlike other cataloged long crosses.
The style of the knight is kinda bohemond III denier but the long cross design would obviously date it past that. Any thoughts?
