<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 3199037, member: 95174&quot;]I made the decision to expand&nbsp; my collection focus. So I purchased a couple of new coins from that auction. Most notable this Hyperpyron. I normally do not post a coin until I receive but I am really excited about this one.</p><p>&nbsp;The provenance was an added bonus, an old prestigious dealer from Amsterdam. I was able to find more information about his firm. ( The coin must have come from when his son ran the business.)</p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/numismaticmallcom/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-numismatic-biographies/schulman-jacques" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/site/numismaticmallcom/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-numismatic-biographies/schulman-jacques" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/numismaticmallcom/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-numismatic-biographies/schulman-jacques</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827467[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Alexius I Comnenus, 1081-1118.</b> Hyperpyron (Gold, 31 mm, 4.30 g, 6 h), Constantinopolis, post-reform coinage, 1092-1118. +ΚЄ ROHΘЄI Christ, nimbate, seated facing on throne, raising his right hand in benediction and holding book of Gospels in his left; in fields, IC - XC. <i>Rev.</i> A/ΛЄ/ΖΙω / ΔЄC/ΠΟ/ΤΗ; in right field, Tω / KO/MNH/Nω Alexius I standing facing, wearing crown, divitision and exagerrated jewelled chlamys, holding labarum with his right hand and globus cruciger with his left; in upper right field, manus Dei to left.
