<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 7306536, member: 74799&quot;]This particular coin arrived after spending <b>MONTHS</b> on a barge traveling from Germany to the US.&nbsp; I am still waiting for a few coins and it has already been four months! Anyway, this was an upgrade from an existing Andronicus II coin.&nbsp; Both are in pretty good shape for the type, but the new one is better:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Andronicus II Palaeologus (1282-1328) Æ Trachy, Thessalonica (Sear 2359; DOC V.913-17; PCPC 263; LPC 204.1; Lianta 833) </b></p><p>Obv: Half-length figure of St. Michael, beardless and nimbate; right hand holds sword; left hand holds shield</p><p>Rev: ANΔ/PONI/KOC/ΔЄC/ΠΟ/Τ to left, IC/XC to right; Full-length figure of Christ, bearded and nimbate, on right, holding Gospel in left hand; places right hand on the head of the emperor crouching in proskynesis to left</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Old Coin</u></p><p><u><br /></u></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/Sear-2359.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><u>New Coin</u></p><p><u><br /></u></p><p><u><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/Sear-2359%281%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
