[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 5170240, member: 96635"]All, amazing Byzantine gold coins! Also, great addition [USER=73473]@Magnus Maximus[/USER]! I received this hyperpyron last week: It is not entirely my Byzantine focus, I mainly want to collect from the Komnenoi, but I really liked the reverse with the emperor kneeling to Christ and the obverse is quite fine as well for this issue.
