A fantasy issue, perhaps. You could try it on the Darkside.

I'm dealing with a miserable satellite connection that keeps going in and out, and trying to sift through some pages in Italian.
Stand by. If I do not post again, you'll know my connection finally crashed.

My connection is for s__t right now. Worse than the dialup I had in 1999.
Because of that, I can't see pictures on any of these pages. They won't load.
Try here and here. The text descriptions in those sound right.
Or just try searching "CUNRADI REX" and see what you come up with.
I suppose there was a King Conrad in Genoa in the 1200s.
The strike on that looks too good to be true for a 13th century coin, but I suppose it's possible. If so, this could be a nice piece to have.
I won't know until my @#%*ing connection works again. It took three or four minutes for the page to load just so I could type this.
And for this we pay HughesNet fifty-some bucks a month.
(One thing that sux about living way out in the boondocks is the lack of other high speed internet options. It's either suckass satellite, or ridiculously slow dialup. Not a great choice either way. But I digress.)

Also try Josh Moran (CIVITAS). Or Coachleonard or STLNats. Those are Jedi Darksiders in the know about a lot of really old coins. Maybe they'll see your Darkside posting.
I'm off to bed. This syrupy slowdown in my connection has effectively ended my browsing for the night.

If you put a hole in it, marcoven would really go nuts over it!

Don
Republic of Genoa, Italy, 1139 - 1339, In the Name of Conrad III
Conrad III, founder of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, was never crowned Holy Roman Emperor, but styled himself "King of the Romans." In 1139 he granted Genoa the right to mint coins. An unsuccessful crusader, at the Battle of Dorylaeum he and most of the knights escaped, but most of the foot soldiers were killed or captured by the Seljuks. He fell ill and was sent to Constantinople to recuperate, where his host, Emperor Manuel, I acted as his personal physician. After recovering, Conrad sailed to Acre, and from there reached Jerusalem. After failed attacks on Damascus and Ascalon, Conrad returned to Germany.
Thank you all.......
