BYZANTINE, ISAAC COMNENUS OF CYPRUS AG TETARTERON SBCV-1998 
DOC 610 CLBC 6.3.6A GR 1125
  
OBV Christ Emmanuel, beardless and nimbate, wearing tunic and kolobion, seated upon throne with back; r hand raised in benediction holds scroll in l. Pellet in each limb of nimbus cross.

REV Full length figure of emperor on l. crowned by virgin nimbate. Emperor wears stemma, divitision, collar piece, and jeweled loros of simplified type; holds in r hand scepter cruciger and in l. anexikakia. Virgin wears tunic and maphorion.

 Size 18.5/20mm

 Weight 4.2

These issues in Cyprus have a small amount of silver in them 1.5% make them more related to the Metropolitan issue of the empire. This issue is heavier than most listed types. Variations of Isaac Comnenus coinage seem more common than the Byzantine Emperors, in this case the sash on the Emperors waist. 

I have decided not clean this coin any further,I think it is attractive as it stands.

 DOC list 4 examples with a weight of 2.81 to 2.84 and sized at 19mm to 21mm
