<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3090150, member: 81093&quot;]Just wanting to show off my newest coin for the Byzantium collection</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the latest dated Byzantium coin in my collection by a significant margin (by 150 years). I was drawn to this coin for two reasons, the first because it was the last type of gold coin in the Byzantium Empire (I think Andronicus III&#039;s successor John V was the last to issue the Hyperpyron), and the second reason because Andronicus III was also the last Emperor to make a decent go at restoring the Empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mint: Constantinople</p><p>Year: 1325 - 1328</p><p>Obv: Virgin Mary with Andronicus II &amp; Andronicus III standing either side</p><p>Rev: Christ standing</p><p>Weight: 3.89g</p><p>Material: 11ct gold, mixed with silver and copper</p><p><br /></p><p>Supposedly VF, but these coins were pretty average to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]779582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]779583[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
