[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3358390, member: 95174"]I thought this would make an interesting collage to share, this is coinage of the Alexius Reform of Eastern Roman coinage in 1092. It remained consistent through the 12th century and for part of the 13th century. The highest to the lowest denomination of the time. All are coins from John II Comnenus. All of the coins are in pecking order. [ATTACH=full]889698[/ATTACH] This is the current thought, 1. Hyperpyron SBCV-1938 2. Aspron Electrum Trachy SBCV-1941 [B]3 of these are worth 1 Hyperpyron[/B] 3. Billion Aspron Trachy SBCV-1944 [B]16 of these for one Aspron Electrum Trachy [/B](48 to Hyperpyron) 4. Tetarteron Billion SBCV-1945 [B]6 of these for one Billion Aspron Trachy[/B](288 to Hyperpyron) 5. Tetarteron SBCV-1953 [B]3 of these for one Metropolitan tetarteron[/B] (864 to Hyperpron) 6. Half tetarteron SBCV-1955 [B]2 of these to make one tetarteron[/B] (1728 to Hyperpyron) I do not totally agree on the lower end , too much issue with weights but this was the most logical order that was presented by Michael Hendy in Dumberton Oakes Catalog IV 1999 AD.
