That is my main problem... I believe so, the possible mark could be:

iisii
hsh
hsii
h5h

or something similar... This has been a big headache!

The coin looks very similar to the Christ from the Byzantine Empire.

This page could be a good starting point for you: http://www.ancientresource.com/lots/ancient-coins/gold-coins.html

I have this cannon, it appears to be cast iron, and these can range from $20-$2000. I cannot figure out what kind this is and its value. There is only one mark on the top.

Any help would be appreciated!
