TYPE Byzantine Empire, Andronikos II Palaiologos (1282-1328 AD), bronze trachy, Thessalonika mint DESCRIPTION . Obv: Palaiologan monogram Rev: Winged emperor facing, wearing chlamys, holding scepter cruciger and akakia REFERENCE: SB 2395, Ben (227), DO 762 GRADING: G / F+, dark patina, hairline crack, rare ORDER INFO: B2047, $60 Only vague traces of the obverse monogram may be discerned, but the reverse unmistakably identifies this very scarce type, with the peculiar representation of a winged emperor, and in a variant of further rarity - with Andronikos in a chlamys. The die appears to be the same as that of the D. Oaks specimen 762 - apparently the only other published specimen of this subtype.
