Tetarteron help?
Jerome Holderman:
I have one, I will post a pic. tomorrow. To late tonight must sleep.
I can't make out any legend but it has a facing emperor on the obverse and??? what resembles a weather vein on the reverse with a M on top ( where the rooster would go) and a letter K to the right. looks like there is another letter to the left but it is cut off? sorry for the corny description. as I said very tired. ::)
Simon:
Sounds like this. Manuel I 1143-1180 AD AE 1/2 tetarteron Rev is Mongram 58 S-1979
Simon:
Or this one. The rarer of the two. S 1977 with Monogram 57, the middle is the diffrence.
Jerome Holderman:
Thanks Simon!
That is indeed what I have! Could you explain the difference? The two look almost the same?
Simon:
Hi JD
Look carefully at the center, on the first coin it is just 2 short verticle lines comming out of the horrizontal line.
The second one has a 3 sided rectangle instead of just the two verticle lines.
I will try for some bigger pictures.
