cup-shaped coins

Explanation:
Видове антични и средновековни монети с особености в изработката -
корубести (скифатни), фуре, назъбени (серати), уникуми (хибридни).
Manuel I Comnenus scyphate (cup-shaped) hyperpyron.

Тези примери са от линковете по-долу. Скифатен и корубест е един и същи термин за този вид монети.
Иначе в много български сайтове с английска версия преводът е hollow coins, което е напълно погрешно.

Още примери: "One of them bears the image of Alexios I Komnenos (reigned 1081-1118), who in 1092 replaced the debased 8-carat currency with 21-carat hyperpyrons (gold, cup-shaped coins). The other coin is similar to the first one and bears the image of Alexios's successor, John II Komnenos (1118-43)."
