A Coin of the Day , Andronicus I aEF
« on: December 18, 2017, 09:57:55 pm »
An Andronicus I Half tetarteron, new coin almost EF , I have one in my collection but this one is better.  It is a 12mm die making it a semi tetartera , The coin exsists in 18mm, 15mm and 12mm but this one has a large flan making the weight less than an 18mm but greater than a 12mm , more in line with a 15mm coin.

Regardless It is pretty. Its now in My collection.

22mm 3.59gm
