[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 7451443, member: 74222"]Bensi, if you dont mind again I want to ask one more thing. So you are telling me that the way to distinguish a Metropolitan Tetartera from other normal tetartera is that the firstmentioned ones have 4-2% silver while the latter one have zero silver? - Right? Can you tell me how much silver a billion trachy had around Manuel I Komnenos' reign in 1143-1180? I am asking because I know that Manuel I debased the silver in his billion trachy, and that is the reason why many of his billion trachy are black and not grey as they were during the reign of his father og forefather (Alexius and John). BUT the problem is that some coins of Isaac II Angelos (1185-1195) have grey colered ("silver") billion trachy? I assume grey coin means there is silver content in it. Do you know why some billion trachy of Isaac II Angelos are grey and not black?[/QUOTE]
