I am dubious about this coin because of the
style. The fold hanging beneath the
globus looks wrong. The lettering seems off, as well as the spacing of the
legend. The figure is not standing upright.
There has been a flood of
rare late Paleologan silver
basilikon coins that have come onto the market in recent years where the styles have been noticeably off. If it was just one coin, maybe it could be explained away. But there are quite a few. Do a
search for "
basilikon" in the
Byzantine forum. I do not recall any strong condemnations, but instead a lot of skepticism.
