    Could I please get the forum's help in the identification of this Trachy? I believe it to be a Billion Trachy of Issac II Angelus. Its diameter is 25mm and it weighs 2.6g.

    Alexius III but with some irregularities. The silvering for that time period is uncommon , the stars on the reverse 2, or double struck making 4 are not part of the design.
