Comments
Letters on both obverse and reverse possibly meant to stand for kings name UROS.
Jovanovic catalog 2012 is claiming that there are only 3 registered silver examples and 1 copper counterfeit. Example featured in Jovanovic catalog 2012 has letters arranged differently so this is therefore unpublished variant. Very rare coin without usual IC XC reference to Jesus Christ. There are also 2 more types with horses that have exactly the same reverse.
