    Hello Folks. This Byzantine coin came in an uncleaned hoard lot I got last year. Mainly LRB with a few outliers thrown in. This is one of them. From wildwinds.com about all I can deduce is that it is probably a "trachy" from the later Byzantine period. That's all I know. If someone can help me narrow it down that would be much appreciated.

    -Cheers, ACH

    Also, feel free to post your late Byzantine examples here. I would love to see them!

    These can be difficult to properly attribute. At first look it appears to be:

    Empire of Thessalonika, Manuel, 1230-1237 AD. Small module Trachy. Possibly Sear2185. (Manuel on left, St. Demetrius on right). Search for those and see if this may be close.
