Trachea of Alexius I The
« on: February 02, 2020, 06:53:08 pm »
Alexius I in 1092 was the genesis of the Billion concaved coinage, after all of the hundreds of posts with trachea questions on this board I think it is interesting to visit the ruler who started all the madness he has given all the coin collectors after him.

I invite anyone  to post Alexius I concaved coins, ugly or nice.

This example is a SBCV-1919, not pretty but the only one I have. The obverse is not clear but Christ can be made out. The reverse is interesting. A good portrait , good strike.
