It looks like Jesus Christ on the front. Coins like that were usually made around 1000 AD in Constantinople.

Similar style to the Venetian Grosso coins of the 1300's. But just similar. Perhaps another Italian city-state?

Zenker,
Did you find or buy this coin?
If bought, were you told anything about its identity?
If bought, what did you pay--if you don't mind me asking?

The "IC" is evident on the left coin. An "IC" on the left and an "XC" on the right would translate "God with us".
If, under the IC, is written "NI" on the left and "KA" on the right would translate "May Jesus Christ Conquer".
I can't see all that; just guessing.
A strong indication, however, is that Christ is the figure on the left coin; the king is on the right coin (reverse).
Don......
