[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 7688456, member: 95174"]Bellow is my newest addition to my collection, a coin that is listed in Sear as a Latin Produced Half Tetarteron. This coin was the most elusive of the three, ting coin, very small die 12mm.I purchased it from a German auction house that listed it as an unknown. [ATTACH=full]1320203[/ATTACH] The obverse is Christ standing, right hand in benediction the left holding gospels. The reverse is an unknown ruler standing with Labarum in right hand and Globus cruciger with cross on top. 1.65gm and around 17mm ( Put it away before measurement.) SBCV-2060. The other two are in better condition and far more attractive, in fact the SBCV-2058 , I personally believe to be the most beautiful coin produced after the fall of Constantinople in 1203. [ATTACH=full]1320202[/ATTACH] The third example depicts two saints of the time St Helena and St Constantine. [ATTACH=full]1320204[/ATTACH] The debate over these issues will remain unsolved, none of the academics seem to agree on where they were minted Constantinople or Thessalonica or even if they were issued by the Latins or the Bulgarians.
