		One coin representing Christ is strikingly similar with the one found on the Shroud of Turin.
		Moreover, the two coins show two very different busts of Christ which demonstrate that the similarities with the Shroud is not an accident but is in direct relation with the Christ Pantocrator and the art of icons.
		Was the Shroud image fabricated according to the Pantocrator -- that is a cunningly created image based on religious Byzantine arts -- or was the Pantocrator created based on the Shroud, in which case it predates the 8th century?
