<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2926683, member: 74799&quot;]I try to get nice coins, but sometimes it is impossible with Byzantines.&nbsp; Here are three of the same coin in my collection that I collected over a period of time.&nbsp; This particular trachy is somewhat scarce and hence difficult to find.&nbsp; The first specimen is the best that is available (at least, what I could find <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and I was lucky to pick it up.&nbsp; The last one is the wildwinds specimen:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Andronicus II Palaeologus with Michael IX (1282-1328) Æ Trachy, Thessalonica Mint (Sear 2458; DOC 778-779; LPC 232.6; PCPC 235) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Two concentric circles bisected by vertical band</p><p>Rev: Three-quarter length figure of Andronicus II and of Michael IX, wearing stemma, divitision, collar piece and loros; between them haloed cross on long shaft. Both emperors hold in right and left hand respectively scepter cruciger</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-2458%282%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-2458%281%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-2458.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
