Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4399 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 9:47 pm It's a Byzantine aspron trachy, likely 12th century. Not sure which emperor that would be, I'm sure someone better versed in Byzantine coins can tell. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 10:16 pm Yes, this cup-shaped coin is late 12th Century Byzantine. Usually we see those of Manuel I Komnenos, although the image of the reverse is him being crowned by the Virgin Mary. Since the two figures are both dressed in military garb, I'm leaning more toward this being Alexios III. I'm definitely not sure though, and look forward to seeing what others think.
