Very good, my friend. I learn something new quite often from you. I never heard of a Lunula. Glad to see eat it was. Thanks for the link. This is what Google says about the Trachy. This ancient Byzantine coin is a billon Aspron Trachy featuring a distinctive concave "cup" shape and a seated figure of Christ. Ruler: Issued under Emperor Manuel I Comnenus between 1143-1180 AD. Design: The obverse depicts a bearded, nimbate Christ seated on a throne, holding the Gospels. Composition: Made of billon, a debased alloy of silver and copper.
