    Another coin from the same lot. The label reads:
    AE/Billon Tracey.Constantinople.
    Emperor atheist.facing hold
    Labarum & anexikaka.
    BMC•sword in sheath
    Rev. Virgin enthroned facing.
    Double struck & flattened
    BMC Manuel I. 58 G.
    Size: 21 x 22 mm
    Weight: 2 Gmail.72

    obv. Inscript. seems to be
    XECNXT on V.
    Off flan on l.

    imitates coins of Manuel
    BMC•56/57•
    D.O.pl.25•6/10•

    I have no idea if this is correct or not. The asking price was $2.00 but it didn’t sell. Again, it cost me $5.30 but I can get my money back in the antique shop on this coin.

    I can’t really tell this is a coin. I like that it’s square and not rounded.

    Curious. The design copies that of the Latin Type A billon trachy SB 2021 (as the writeup basically says), with the legend roughly DECPiTC, but the coin (or whatever it is) seems to be silver.

    It could be as there are shiny spots on the coin.
