Byzantin 1200-1300 AD Billon Christ & Virgin Mary

Product Description

This fascinating medieval Byzantine aspron trachy will certainly stand out in your collection for its unusual cupped-shape! Hand-struck from billon (a copper and silver alloy) during the 13th century, the coin's convex obverse still displays vestiges of the once-elaborate images of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The concave reverse depicts various Emperors. Size, shape and engraving will vary. Average Circulated condition.
