TYPE Byzantine Empire, Andronikos II Palaiologos (1282-1328 AD), bronze trachy, Constantinople mint, 2.88g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Christ enthroned Rev: Emperor facing in loros, holding scepter cruciger and gl. cr., Manus Dei above (?) REFERENCE: cf. SB 2343-4, cf. Ben 110-1, cf. DO 577-8 GRADING: F / VF, dark green-brown-red patina, edge cracks, scarce ORDER INFO: B1395, $58 Attribution conjectural, as the reverse combines elements of two types associated with Andronikos II, and the problem is further exacerbated by the lack of a visible legend (should be to the left of emperor) and the double-striking (possibly overstrike?) in the right field of reverse, rendering the globus cruciger at an angle.
