Large Ae Trachy Theodore II Ducas-Lascaris. Magnesia?
« on: June 11, 2018, 06:49:26 pm »
I have a new large Ae trachy that I am identifying.  It measures 28.64 mm by 24.36 mm and weighs 3.44g.  Could it be:

Theodore II Ducas-Lascaris. 1254-1258. AE Trachy. Magnesia mint. O AGIOC QEODWROC in several lines across fields, Theodore, full-length figure standing facing, holding spear and resting left hand on shield / ΘEOΔΩΡOC ΔECΠOTHC OΛACKAΡIC or OΔOVKAC in several lines across fields, Theodore, full-length figure standing facing, holding labarum and patriarchal cross on globe. DOC 11. SB 2143

When I get home, I will try to get a clearer photo - it is an odd flattened shape for a trachy.  Pogh_poor
