[QUOTE="sand, post: 7754721, member: 118540"]Another Update : I have found photos of 2 other Sear 2334 examples. However, the Emperor in Sear 2334 seems to have a lesser degree of Proskynesis, than the Emperor in Sear 2326 (your coin type, I think) and Sear 2332, because the Emperor's torso in Sear 2334 is at a 45 degree angle, rather than horizontal. Here are 2 examples of Sear 2334 at the Labarum web site : [URL]https://coins.labarum.info/en/catalog/1564?cid=7075[/URL] Both Sear 2332 and Sear 2334, the bronze trachy coins, seem to be very hard to find. I wonder if the rare Bendall book PCPC has any photos of Sear 2332 or Sear 2334. I hope those coins weren't lost to the world, when Bendall's coin collection was stolen. So, according to my searches so far, Sear 2332, an Andronicus II bronze trachy, is the only Byzantine coin type, that I have found, in which the Emperor has a similar degree of Proskynesis, as the Emperor in Sear 2326 (your coin type, I think). But the Sear 2332 examples that I have found so far, are not as well struck as your coin and/or are not in as good a condition as your coin, which makes them less clear than your coin.[/QUOTE]
