<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3978703, member: 74799&quot;]There seems to be a recent hoard of Andronicus II Basilikon that hit the market the past few months.&nbsp; Several of them have been auctioned off on Numismatik Naumann and recently on Heritage Auctions as well as some of the other auction sites.&nbsp; The condition of the coins are actually in pretty good condition too. So, I picked up several of them.&nbsp; Each of the coins have slightly different legends and control marks.&nbsp; But to stay on topic, I just purchased this scarce variety on HA last night.&nbsp; It has Michael with a mustache:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Andronicus II Palaeologus and Michael IX (1295-1320) AR Basilikon, Constantinople (Sear 2402; DOC V.534) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: KVPIЄ-BOHΘЄI; Christ enthroned facing on backless throne, wearing nimbus cruciger, pallium and colobium, right hand raised in benediction, book of Gospels in left; IC-XC across fields; large dot below each elbow of Christ</p><p>Rev: AVTOKPATO-PЄC POMAIШN; Andronicus II bearded and Michael IX with mustache, each standing facing, wearing crown, saccos and loros, both holding labarum between them with circle on shaft below banner </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-2402%284%29.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
