Constantinople.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Obv: Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator.</b></p><p><b>Rev: Crowned facing bust of John.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Sear 2565.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Weight: 3.24 g.</b></p><p><b>Diameter: 19 mm.&quot;</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Note that the seller has confused the fotos of obverse and reverse.
