<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Voulgaroktonou, post: 4644086, member: 84047&quot;]Wonderful post, ValientKnight - thank you! When I first saw its notice, I expected a 5th century penultimate personage like Glycerius or Julius Nepos, so I was pleased that you went to the true end of the Roman line. And congratulations on 2 very nice coins. Your stavraton and its half brother have pretty complete legends as these things go. Here are a few of my Palaeologans to keep yours company.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. John V. Constantinople. 1379/91. Stavraton. 8.03 gr. 25.5 mm. hr. 6. Sear 2510; DO 1266-67.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.
