Commentary
This resolution is likely incorrect, but is difficult to improve because of the wealth of letters in each monogram--let alone some key ones that have worn away--and inherent ambiguity of the complex monograms. The reverse may actually be a name and the title χαρτουλαρίου (chartoularios), or even the title ἀρχιεπισκόπου (archbishop), and the obverse may actually contain a patronymic, or title other than σχολάστικος (scholastikos).
