<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 4976150, member: 95174&quot;]I have not acquired many coins as of late but this one I picked up this weekend and it arrived today. It fits perfectly in my collection and has the virgin so adds to this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>This EL Aspron Trachy issues by Isaac II in his first reign. Not perfect has a flan crack but still attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Under the coin reform this coin was worth 1/3rd of a Hyperpyron. It is mixed metal gold ,silver and copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most gold coins of this time were found in great condition because they were primarily used to pay the governments tax, the change from that tax was paid in trachea and tetartera, billion and copper coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Isaac II&nbsp; SBCV- 2002&nbsp; 29.04mm&nbsp; 4.4gm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1195738[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
