1920 ALEXIUS METROPOLITAN TETARTERON S-1920 DOC 33 CLBC 2.4.1 Grierson 1042 OBV Bust of Christ, bearded and nimbate, wearing tunic and kolobion holding gospels (open) in left hand.
REV Alexius bust facing wearing stemma, divitision, collar piece and paneled loros of simplified type and holds in r. hand labarum-headed scepter and in l. hand Globus crucifer.
Metropolitan Issues were minted in Constantinople, each of these coins had an added silver content of 3% ( 3.84 is recorded by Hendy) and were also issued more than likely with a very light silver wash (Silver traces are common on Metropolitan issues but intact fully silvered coins are very rare.) These more than likely were tariffed at a higher rate than the Thessalonica issues that have been shown to have no silver content. This would make them a separate denomination. Metropolitan issues are in general far scarcer than the Thessalonica issues. Grierson thought them to be for ceremonial use only, I disagree, it was a denomination used in the Capital

This particular coin grades as aF/aVF , this has the most interesting portrait of Alexius, seems to be much older in age than other examples.

This coin has been in my collection the longest and is very different from the other examples , the flan is much thicker It differs from the examples that are showing in the market today, I believe it to be from another mint. The coin was acquired in a group lot I acquired a dozen years ago, I have no idea of the dealers origin.

This is believed to be a Thessalonica minted coin, it contains no silver. Grierson believed this coin to be an imitation and Hendy's original catalog mentioned the coin as mythical , a coin had been published a century before but no currently known examples.
By the time DOC IV was published twenty years latter, one was found in the collection of the museum of Istanbul.
My example has now been published in BULLETIN du cercle d'etudeas Numismatiques VOL 52 Jan 2015 by Cedric Wolkow, three examples are shown. This one appears to be in the best condition.

Hungary. Béla IV (1235-1270). Huszár 192; Toth-Kiss 22.4.1.1 sigla 0.1/1; Unger 122; Réthy I 272; Frynas H.18.51; Lengyel 18/21; Adamovszky A411Hungary. Attributed to Béla IV (1235-1270) by Toth-Kiss and Lengyel, tentatively attributed to him by Unger and Frynas, and attributed to either Béla III (1172-1196) or Béla IV by Huszár, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy (who states that the type was issued 1172-1241).
AR bracteate (average .705 fineness, .26 g, 15.9-16.1 mm.), denár per Unger and Frynas but denomination unstated by Huszár, Toth-Kiss, Lengyel, Adamovszky and Gyöngyössy; .27 g., 14.54 mm. max.
Obv: Youthful head with floral wreath facing left, within pearled circle.
Based on their presence in archaeological sites dated to the Mongol invasion of 1241/42, this type can be dated to the earliest years of the reign of Béla IV (per Toth-Kiss and consistent with Gyöngyössy).
Huszár rarity 5, Toth-Kiss rarity 25, Unger rarity 8, Frynas rarity CStkp
