<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2326016, member: 19463&quot;]We have shown the cup shape coins several times before.&nbsp; Also popular here have been the various anonymous Christ folles.&nbsp; One later section of Byzantine coins that gets little love is the late, flat bronze we call tetarteron.&nbsp; Many are crude and struck on ragged flans but they are part of the same system that brought us the cups.&nbsp; Last I heard, we did not know the relation of these to the other denominations (how many equal a cup???).&nbsp; I believe they were not silver bearing and were not issued silvered while cups are alloys like billon or electrum.&nbsp; (Confirm or deny?)&nbsp; To show how little respect these get, I have just one which I have had for 25 years and have learned nothing about.&nbsp; How&#039;s that for no respect?&nbsp; Sear mentions them as part of a reform in 1092.</p><p>Alexius I AE tetarteron 1092-1118 AD</p><p>Alexius facing&nbsp; / jeweled cross&nbsp; C-Φ, AΛ-Δ&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]470821[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d enjoy seeing other late Byzantine flat bronzes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
