[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 8350241, member: 95174"]Thank you to several people on the assistance for this coin, especially [USER=72712]@arnoldoe[/USER] for posting the Bendall paper on the coins of the time of Alexius I Comnenus in the Trebizond.

I just got the coin in today's mail. No match in Bendalls "Intro to the coinage of the Empire of Trebizoid." The weight and the size would be unusual for an imitation. However, their is something crude about the cross and that does lean towards imitation. 19.67mm 3.9gm [ATTACH=full]1481410[/ATTACH] Btw , for those unfamiliar with the imitation tetartera they have only been noted in the last twenty years, they seem to fill a need for a lack of the currency in Greece after the fall of Constantinople in 1204.
