Andronicus II & Michael IX assarion - please help
« on: June 03, 2026, 03:23:49 pm »
Hello!

Please, help me with this coin: it looks to be NΔ (delta). I find SB 2444 - NΓ (gamma); or SB 2432 - NA...
Can you help me with an identification?

Thank you very much.

Interesting - but I think it's just SBCV 2432 with the A reversed by the die-cutter.
Below is another example.
In fact they seem to be not particularly rare, so how do we know the number wasn't meant to be Delta all along?

I add the page from LPC which add the additional information that  :Greek_Nu: :Greek_Alpha: indicates the first indiction -- either 1303 or 1318.
