Alexius I Comnenus AE Tetarteron, 1081-1118 AD. Thessalonica?
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:55:30 pm »
This nice Ae measures 18.5 - 23mm and weighs 2.1g.  I believe that it is an Alexius I Comnenus Ae Tetarteron, 1081-1118 AD. Thessalonica - SB 1931.  Have I gotten it correct?

I thought so.  What distinguishes  Alexius I Comnenus' AE Tetarteron (SB 1931) from his very similar  Ae follis, Thessalonica (SB 1910)?

SBCV 1910 are quite rare, I´ve never seen one. But as a follis they should be distinctive bigger, between 24 and 31mm.
